   We need to figure out (or someone needs to introduce me to..) a good alternative to Facebook Events ASAP.

   I briefly reactivated my FB account (because reasons) and stumbled across a public lecture about Thomas Sankara, and an event put on by the Chilean embassy about Project Cybersyn. And it's an absolute crime that Facebook is the only way to discover these.

      @neil Unfortunately, everyone else would also need to start using whatever alternative you find, and they won't. I've taken to maintaining a "deep cover" fake name failbook account and being very strict about which friends I actually follow and what types of posts I engage with.
