But if there are no people on the platform then you can't create a local meetup. So the platform is useless as a way to find like minded people in your area. If I have to advertise locally to set up a group, I'm just going to get people to download keet or telegram. I don't need meetup or flockstr outside of the initial effort to find people with specific interests. It's only useful if there are already lots of people there & no, I don't see how small groups help with the problem at all.
