I'm looking at starting a small local Linux Users Group (LUG).

What are good easy ways to get started?

Seems like meetup.com is kinda anti-foss.

Are there better alternatives?

If I'm being honest, there are a ton of platforms you could use. My producer utilizes Nerimity for his YouTube channel, as Discord is, indeed, anti-FOSS as they're proprietary themselves. Matrix (not matrix.org) is a good way to do this as well, as CachyOS has a Matrix space that's unofficial (so I'm aware, at least). I know my producer is active in that space.
