I'm passing this question along, because I think we might have folks here who have some suggestions.

What tools or combination of tools are folks using to organize in your local area and beyond?

A relative of mine was asking me about software to replace the event/RSVP/page aspects of Facebook.

It almost sounds like he wants a locked down Lemmy instance or a combination of tools, but I'm not sure what the landscape is like out there.

Any input would be cool. I might link him to this post later if I get enough comments.

Yeah, it's kind of a bummer to realize how poor a state those alternatives are in. As much as I like/use/recommend Signal, I do think we need alternatives (even if it was perfect). In a comment in one of those blog posts, the author mentions Ricochet [Refresh] which is a TOR messenger. That looks interesting, but it is desktop-only.
