Okay you tech geeks... I'm looking to start some local groups and events, as always looking for FOSS over big tech. Went down the rabbit hole of alternatives to meetup or fecesbook and found this.

I'm wanting to get my own server this year and would love to self host something. Anyone else heard of this or have something else as an alternative to meetup?

I'm going to put startos on an old PC and self host a SimpleX chat server. They may have something suitable:

nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll is great plug and play FOSS self-hosting software, and the support community is excellent.

highly recommend.

I heard there were some challenges connecting to it via tor. Has that been resolved?

yea it’s been steadily getting more reliable.

Tor in general is always less reliable than clearnet. but Start9 did some voodoo magic to make even using tor feel faster than usual.

Thanks, not sure my normy folks are ready for that... But might try it for a local bitcoin meetup.

Just do it!!! Requires some effort. Big love to Nextcloud.

I will concure with everyone recommending nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll.

Even I found it pretty easy to use once I'd got it set up and running.. πŸ‘πŸ»
