# 11:29 voxpelli Is it really voice only IRC? To me it feels like a social network where the social entities are temporary spoken word moderated IRC channels # 11:48 GWG voxpelli: I'm always here...well, except when I was servicing my IRC bouncer this weekend # 11:49 voxpelli I'm always here when IRCCloud hasn't accidentally kicked me out, paying for IRCCloud just to idle here ;P # 11:56 voxpelli GWG: Know if anyone has set up something Clubhouse like in the IndieWeb world?

# 13:16 aaronpk Depends on what you mean by "clubhouse-like". There's a lot more to it that just voice chat or "voice only IRC" petermolnar and [schmarty] joined the channel

# 15:32 voxpelli aaronpk: yeah, Clubhouse feels like a social network for temporary/momentary audio-only rooms/channels. Both spontaneous ones and scheduled ones # 15:34 voxpelli the social network part and the scheduled part could easily be handled within IndieWeb, but the actual "momentary audio-only room" – would that be like a video conference option on a calendar entity? # 15:36 aaronpk a huge part of clubhouse is the discovery aspect too, which is not something i would say we have solved # 15:36 aaronpk tbh the audio call is better solved than discovery right now # 15:36 voxpelli yeah, some kind of aggregation would be needed to have it go outside of ones personal social network # 15:37 voxpelli + a really important one for that would be to announce that one is in a room and if one is speaking in that room # 15:37 aaronpk there's certainly many different ways to do it, but I would not say that any of them are particularly usable or well-explored at the moment # 15:38 voxpelli starting of with an event and having an audio-only room for it just like one could have eg. a zoom, that could perhaps be a good starting point? # 15:39 voxpelli then a discovery experience could be iterated over on top of that? # 15:40 aaronpk that's pretty much already how virtual HWCs work :) # 15:40 aaronpk post an event on events.indieweb.org, add the link to the zoom call # 15:40 aaronpk if you wanted to make it audio-only, it's not hard to imagine the voice call happening from within the events.indieweb.org website [manton] joined the channel
# 15:41 aaronpk but again, most of what clubhouse is isn't just that it's a voice call, it's all the UI and discovery stuff they did around it wagle joined the channel
# 16:14 voxpelli aaronpk: would be interesting to sketch out some of that on the clubhouse page # 16:15 voxpelli Reason why I started thinking about this was that I have organised some clubhouse chats and gotten valid complaints of it's iOS-only nature [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
# 16:27 [chrisaldrich] I thought I heard that Discord was doing some audio as well? I got an email about a karaoke discord for later today, so I suspect I'll find out shortly. # 16:29 [chrisaldrich] Hmmm... Their original service was voice based, though it was a bit more static and async, but did better at some discovery. Maybe more like microcasts meets Twitter in flavor. # 16:30 voxpelli both Reddit and Twitter are launching Clubhouse clones though, which are social [KevinMarks] joined the channel
# 16:54 aaronpk Discord just launched a clubhouse clone in Discord too jamietanna and [tw2113_Slack_] joined the channel

# 20:09 [tantek] and Clubhouse is revealed for what it is: a feature, not a separate thing. E.g. just like Snapchat before it. # 20:17 jacky Clubhouse's discovery, IIRC, is aggregating what you see from people you follow, no? # 20:17 jacky because I haven't seen anything "recommended" that wasn't using someone I follow as a metric # 20:18 jacky not too shocked that Discord had this going, they've been really good at it [Rose], tomlarkworthy, mauz555, Dieux, samwilson, Nuve, jjuran, neshpion, [girrodocus], a_chou and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
[kimberlyhirsh] Wow yes thanks for documenting, [jgmac1106]. That's so disheartening.
