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?

Let me just call every small business around me once a week and ask what events they have going on! Thank you so much! You're so smart!
