   Big shoutout to @jerry for setting up a Mobilizon server at https://meetups.infosec.exchange !

   This is an analog to Meetup.com but is a part of the Fediverse and uses ActivityPub.

   This has a few amazing implications...

   So!!! You create a personal account on the server and then create a group. The group can then create events.

   This is multiuser administration! So the group is separate from your personal account. So you don't have to share passwords for the group account. Instead, you have members join and then assign them administrative privileges. That's huge!

   Further, whenever you create an event, it posts it via ActivityPub as well! So you don't need a separate Mastodon account to "crosspost". (Kinda like when we posted a meetup event, we would then cross post to Twitter. - You don't do that here. It's just one place and any fediverse account that follows you can interact with you via any other software / service.

   So! I can follow my FXBG Hackers Mobilizon group from my Mastodon account. It just looks like a normal account from here. (you can view it at: @fxbghackers ).

   We just created an event for our December meetup. That can be found here: https://meetups.infosec.exchange/events/60e32fc3-e098-4982-9e8b-155505d79f97

   You can view that link through Mobilizon or through Mastodon and it will appear differently (see screen shots).

   Here's the cool thing. I REPLIED to the Mobilizon event announcement with my Mastodon account via the Mastodon software and it shows up AS A COMMENT in the Mobilizon event page!!!!

   That is the power of the Fediverse.

   Fucking unbelievable.
