Gregory's Server@tante Facebook’s biggest strength is its events system, which is unmatched before or since.
Even in the enterprise world the #1 piece of software I have to beat isn’t Snowflake or Oracle or AWS.
It’s Excel.
Simple, widespread beats everything. Supporting simple doesn’t mean supporting big tech.
@emilygorcenski @tante events system? You mean as a calendar? @mobilizon is trying something similar, just like @gancio, but I think there might be something else more needed, especially in terms of adoption. These two alternatives are also ActivityPub compatible and are perfect for local events. But users expect to find everything in one place, I guess?
