Just for comparison as I happen to maintain three meetups for groups in Spain (kind of microchapters called Geoinquietos[1]), mailing list versus meetup is as follows:
* Valencia: list 71; meetup: 729; telegram: 36 * Seville: list 80; meetup: 899; whatsapp: 16 * Madrid: list: 157; 887; telegram; 61 Still, for me the absolute numbers are not that meaningful. Over the years we have seen a clear migration of the conversation from mailing lists to othe channels: stackoverflow, social media networks, meet up networks, chat rooms and such. Telegram, for example, is actually where these days most of the Spanish language OSGeo, Geoinquietos, and OSM conversations happen. Cheers!
