Well, I did use Mobilizon for the Friday dinner for Guix Days - which 
though lacking some features is FOSS and Fediverse tech.
https://mobilizon.nl/events/ee570f76-1898-43ff-88f0-86f18608ff2d

It does permit email (as opposed to registration) to confirm - though I 
noticed that only 1 or 2 people actually provided any information for me 
to discern them.
... I guess it meant the system reduced the risk of spam signups but 
simultaneously didnt enforce accountability to an organiser.

On a legal basis Id assert that the specific instance being based in the 
Netherlands would be advantageous than wherever Meetup queries; routes; 
and caches.
It is run by some random volunteer, with all the carnets of such trust 
domains.


In any case, Im going to try to participate in these events, I reckon it 
would be a good compensation for there not being a regular Guix meetup 
in Belgium.

Kind regards,



Jonathan
