I often procrastinate on putting up the meetup post. I’m not entirely sure why. It makes me happy when people notice that I put in the effort to do so and upvote the post, and (I think) makes it a little easier to do next time. It still feels kinda silly that I care about the karma number, but I do. And, as they say: if it’s silly, and it works, it isn’t silly.
Why would you downvote a meetup post?
afaik, someone downvotes all of the meetup posts when they come up, and two other people upvote all of them shortly thereafter.
I up vote meetup posts because running a meetup is work, and is undervalued in this community.
Speaking as someone who runs a meetup: thanks!
