That doesn't speak for every meetup. I've been to plenty of tech meetup where people talked and had fun. Even when people are being introverted, at least there's the opportunity for people to have their own conversations. With virtual "meetups", you can't have one-on-one conversations, and that sucks. And good luck networking at a virtual "meetup" if the crowd is big enough that you can't get a word in.

I agree that in-person is easier, but if you don't know how to use the latest features in the tools to communicate, I recommend learning those tools first, before rejecting all possibilities.
