I have seen a post about meetup in India a few days ago but sadly, they used whatsapp for coordination so I didn't join. Wonder what happened to that?
How much personal opportunity cost is acceptable before it becomes worth using a platform you don't like...?
Remember that even if it your life's sole goal to eliminate the use of that platform worldwide, you will probably achieve more if you take every opportunity possible, including those gatekept by the platform you don't like...
There is no ideological reason behind it.
