This is true. If you post in the thread you will generally get a response and what you say will get exposure to the community. Posting content or making discussion here is pretty much universally appreciated.

In primetime meetups you'll be shut out and ignored unless you're still brand new or part of the inner circle jerk. To the extent most of what you say won't be acknowledged, in the cases they are then there'll be no eye contact as your avatar is probably blocked if you're not friended/trusted, and expect every so often to have a few people run in front of you to talk to whoever you were attempting to socialize with. 

Thread is more engaging and inclusive towards idle discussion for the majority of anons. Especially if you're not extroverted or able to fight loudly enough to be heard over the din. The "meetups" are genuinely unpleasant and it's surprising the extent people will defend them. You will almost universally have a more pleasant and interesting experience socializing in pubs.
