I ran the tech for a hybrid community group AGM last night using Jitsi, and while it went well only two people joined online, and one of them was the person who proposed we used Jitsi in the first place. Last year when we used Zoom we had significantly more.

The point of doing these events in a hybrid format is to make them more accessible, but I'm a little worried that by suggesting something most people in the wider world have never heard of we may have put quite a few less tech savvy people off from even trying to join because they were intimidated by the idea of having to learn a new program.

I wondered whether anyone else had tried running community events with more ethical software and had any thoughts on this?
