I’d join! Where do we go to start one I wonder… Meetup.com? It’s so hard when money is so tight and everyone demands a monthly fee. I just want to sit in a room or chat in a park without worrying how much it’ll cost me per hour.

Try Mastodon, make a community in your town. It’s not that popular, but fully free.

My wife joined a Facebook group for making friends in our area and has had some luck, there's probably one where you are?

Depends on where you live though. In my area it seems to be a platform to advertise tech conferences. I don’t work in that field. How do I show less of these?

No we're talking about the change YOU want to see in the world, not the change I want to see

I'm dealing with some really heavy shit right now in my personal life so I don't have any time left to plan something like this out. However if anyone lives near eastern Maryland or Delaware I'd be down to meet some of you awesome people. :)

Have you checked meetup? If nothing like it exists I’m sure you can start one!

Edit: I would start it for you, but I’m a dude
