Ask HN: Facebook for Events only?

So I've managed to pair down my Facebook usage by:

a) Unfollowing all friends and deleting all likes (resulting in an empty feed)

b) Switching to messenger.com instead of using the FB homepage for Messenger

But unfortunately, my social circle still uses Facebook organizing events. I would love if there was a standalone site for FB events, but it looks like nothing like that exists.

(I know that Facebook Local app exists, but it generates a lot of noise for nearby events... I just want to see my personal event invites only).

Thoughts? Any solutions exist for a FB Event only app?

    Call your friends. Ask them what’s going on today. Go do stuff. If it’s a work type org, use LinkedIn to get notified about events.

    Facebook/ig free for 4 months and highly recommend it.

    I did the same as you and i'm not regretting it.

    If I want to see what someone is doing i can always go to their page.
