>nd unlike in 2017/2018 a lot of the regulars in the meetups these days are not even from 4chan, they're just random friends of friends that ended up joining meetups often and integrated into the community via ingame and discord server.
I keep seeing this claim, but my own data does not support it. The majority of the people I meet on meetups are originally from the thread. And yes, I keep a list of who is and who isn't from the thread or at the very least 4chan.
