Well, according to me, the only way to use Facebook in a sane way is to use a browser (like Firefox) with the Social Fixer extension. [1] It allows you to customize your Facebook experience in several ways beyond basic ad blocking and tracker blocking. On this topic, Facebook will continue "getting desperate and crappy" as long as there's money to be made by keeping people addicted to something or the other. Long before Facebook became popular, there was this site called Meetup.com, which is still around, for getting people with specific interests to organize and RSVP for meetups. You could check it out. Depending on where you live, there may be event aggregation platforms and apps that scour the web for events and make them available for users. They make money through ads, sponsored placements of certain events, ticket sales for events, etc. Search online for "events <location>" or "<location> events app".
