I’ve been using Instagram as a way to stay up to date with all the local community events or small businesses doing events around me for the past couple of years.

With everything happening at Meta and TikTok, I’ve deleted and uninstalled most social media accounts and apps.

Do y’all have any suggestions for keeping up to date on local events around your neighborhoods without having to use Instagram or Facebook? Do I have to sign up for 30 email newsletters?

    Start asking yourself what exactly you will miss from the local events news that you collect today from I.G. and what real value that you are really getting from it and go from there.

    Do you need all that information and anxiety?

    Do you have examples of things that we could help you point where there are alternatives?

    Are you looking for social gathering events news happening around? What type?
