What happened to Meetup?

I moved to a new city in 2015 and made a handful of long term friend groups, all started from meetup. I moved to a new city in 2024 and it's basically empty... except for some Wiccan book clubs, or MLM pyramid schemes or whatever.

I don't get it. Seems like there would be competition in this space to replace Meetup, but there's nothing? Or did we all just collectively give up on meeting strangers.

In my area Discord took the place of Meetup. Meetup went downhill when WeWork bought them.

Hey thanks for the tip. I searched my local subreddit and found some Discord invites, maybe I'll find better luck there.
