To be a bit blunt: I don't feel the need to have yet another centralized meetup tool. I'd rather have federated tools such as Gancio (https://gancio.org/) or Mobilizon (https://mobilizon.org/en/), which both can push scheduled events into Mastodon and can exchange events among them. This way, one is insulated against enshittification and abuse of network effects.

Normies won't use these. UX needs to be simple.

That doesn't mean a brand new project needs to be started from scratch though

Mobilizon use ActivityPub. Some stuff are missing (like recurring event) but it works well
