I disagree. I think that the current prominence of meetup posts is bad, but I think that until a better technical solution is available (and I am aware I am saying this while not volunteering time to fix it), such as meet ups appearing in the sidebar in their own section, they should be left as is. I don’t feel discussion is prominent enough to be the repository for meetup posts. Furthermore, they’re while a little annoying, easily scanned over and ignored.

I suspect that LW readers who aren’t sufficiently interested to occasionally check the Discussion section are also overwhelmingly unlikely to spend an afternoon going to a LW meetup.

I like this idea.
As do I.

You suspect wrong; in my experience a good number of the people who come to meetups only follow the site casually.
