Title: Meetups during COVID
Post by: Mana Minori on October 17, 2020, 06:42:59 PM: Does anyone know if there are any zoom meetups for the older gen communities? I have wanderlust and am itching to get out, but it’s not safe, and I don’t think I want to hang around a bunch of men I’ve never met, from the g4 community, anyway.

I would be game for that! Meetups are excruciatingly difficult for me IRL, but it would be fun to do something virtually. :)

That used discord though.

There's like...25 of them, maybe more. It's pretty easy to set up a server and slowly gather people in the general realm as you. I've got one, Beatles has/d one, theres a few others I joined and dipped out of. Depends on what you're looking for, and you can always make one if you don't find something for your particular niche.

Post by: mlp4me on October 20, 2020, 09:43:58 AM: I wish I had internet at home. I'd love to zoom meet with the locals again... It's been awhile since we had an in person WI meet.

Post by: Mana Minori on October 20, 2020, 06:31:03 PM: Sooooo, apparently, Zoom meetups can only be 40 minutes (with 3 or more people) on the free plan. If you have premium, it’s unlimited, I think.

That being said- would anyone be interested in having an online pony tea party (whether on Zoom or Discord)?
