Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.
@omanreagan I wish there were better tools to do these things off of Facebook.
@ajroach42 @omanreagan meetup, eventrbite and moodle for universities? Off the top of my head..
@mikedd @omanreagan Sure. But also, these are mostly more silos with the same problem as facebook on a smaller scale.
We need a federated open-source and reasonably secure event management option.
@ajroach42 @mikedd @omanreagan or you could subscribe to a mailing list and send each other calendar invites.
It's old school, but surely a better option? (Need encryption? No problem! That's what Keybase & PGP is for)
