I joined the South Asian Club and every evening, there is a music session. I was pleasantly surprised to find people from all over south Asian..Indians, Pakistanis and bangaladesh appearing to perform..instrumentals and vocal. And in multiple languages too. My absolute fav part of clubhouse. I am trained in Carnatic classical music and now I want to learn Hindustani style. The members are of different ages and the young people are a delight. They are polite and at different skill levels. So..it has massively revived and boosted and expanded my music universe. Most South Asians would know what an Antakshari session means...basically this clubhouse room is like that. Right now, I am in a room where people are part of 2 minute debates. Pro and against debaters randomly assigned. The topic now is: “Do aliens exist?” Fun! The big rooms can be difficult to navigate and engage if one doesn’t know how to time oneself without interrupting. Because we don’t see each other. There is tons of security issues. But that’s probably why this is still beta. For now, I listen a lot more than I contribute. It is a ‘real identity’ service. Your phone number and your real voice is on the server. There is no downvoting(ahem) but there is self moderation. The best part is one can leave if they dislike a discussion and one won’t be heard if they are disruptive if the moderator so decides. No public shaming. Just a lack of platform for unpalatable views(from the room moderators’ POV). I think this might well become the most well behaved social media we have seen in a while on the interwebs.
