I'm passing this question along, because I think we might have folks here who have some suggestions.
What tools or combination of tools are folks using to organize in your local area and beyond?
A relative of mine was asking me about software to replace the event/RSVP/page aspects of Facebook.
It almost sounds like he wants a locked down Lemmy instance or a combination of tools, but I'm not sure what the landscape is like out there.
Any input would be cool. I might link him to this post later if I get enough comments.
Nextcloud is an alternative to Google Workspace, and there's Nextcloud Forms, which can be used instead of Google Forms and the like. Nextcloud also has a calendar which is necessary for keeping track of events.
Not sure if using a federated social networking platform like lemmy would be much better than just creating a locked down traditional forum, such as Discourse. It's something I have thought about, but it seems locking down a federated instance somewhat defeats the purpose.
Btw, Tails is a good OS to run on a flash drive during critical situations.
