uBlock Origin maintainers have decided to stop continuously updating filters specifically to keep up with Facebook’s latest ad-blocking countermeasures.

Existing filters will remain, but new Facebook techniques may eventually bypass them. The decision highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between ad blockers and advertising platforms.

That’s fine, but I don’t know of any that meet the requirements

What I see out there seems to fall into:

“party invitation/RSVP” (evite, paperlesspost)
“event ticketing” (eventbrite)
schedule coordination (when2meet, whenisgood, whencanwehang)
business calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.)

Meetup is close, and discord’s events system is kinda-sorta okay. Those are the best I know of and they’re still not good.
