> Unofficial Clubhouse app for Android. Inspired by https://github.com/stypr/clubhouse-py.

As new hyped up social networks come along with missing things we have this. I can only see this unofficial app eventually withering away as soon as the Android app is ready. (Whenever that is)

The main concern is the private API. With this, individuals can abuse the API very easily. If the invite system is phased out, it creates an opportunity for bots to ruin the app.

Here we go again.

If someone can make bots do convincing voice chat with groups of the glitterati, heckling Elon with persuasive counter arguments, that would be quite impressive.

the product is essential reinventing conference calls by adding tracking and gamification to voice calls. who are these people who voluntarily sign up and have their data stolen just so they can listen to Dunning-Kruger types who love nothing more than hearing the sound of their own voice. people who think they're genuine but aren't because they build their opinions based on what their audience wants to hear.

it kills authenticity same as all the other services that create humans that consider themselves "influencers". it's not too different from the CCP's SCS only that we are too propagandized into thinking that this won't create a society of digital slaves who bow to the one with the highest karma.

My valuable valuable data being stolen by the app. What have I been thinking.
