#Eventbrite to be acquired by #BendingSpoons, following their acquisition of #Meetup.com which caused many users to migrate to Eventbrite in the first place. I think at this point it becomes very obvious that the #Fediverse is the best place to coordinate your meetups, and you have many options to choose from: #Mobilizon, #Gancio and even #Wordpress with the #ActivityPub Event Bridge plugin. Everyone knows Bending Spoon's playbook, enshittification is inevitable.

I just made a plugin for Gancio that posts every new event into a Bluesky account, with title, date, place, event url and image.

It's based on the equivalent plugin for Telegram, and I can say that it works (I tried it on my own server: https://bsky.app/profile/pontevedra.social).

The code is here if you want to read it (warning: it's hot shit, I'm not really that fluent in NodeJS):

Ora anche Bari ha la sua istanza @gancio!

Dopo aver creato una fork, modificato l’UI/UX e sperimentato diverse integrazioni, ora la versione (quasi) finale è su https://eventi.adaxi.community. Si chiama Adaxì, così come il font creato collettivamente per definire l’identità di questo progetto.

Sono stra contento perché ho tartassato il team di https://baricittaperta.xyz per scegliere un software federato come soluzione e ci sono riuscito. Ora siamo tutt3 gasatissim3 😍

Imagine a digital space that aggregates, organizes, and empowers you to act on any activity published across the fediverse.

With Bonfire, you can now add an "Events" feed to your sidebar—pulling in all events from users you follow on #Mobilizon and #Gancio, unified in one place.

That's just a glimpse of what our modular architecture enables.

Now imagine the possibilities...
