You're one closer, Joel.

Still not tens of thousands, but I'd rather my followers all be human, wouldn' t you?

I've never visited Clubhouse, and I probably never will. The sort of snobby mentality in a much-hyped beta for iOS users exclusively - "Oh, sorry, it'll be available for Android soon, we promise" (which any really discerning iOS user ought to know means "after Apple fools have bug-tested the shit out of it FOR us, thinking they're 'special'") just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Back when I was on the super exclusive Windows mobile platform (so exclusive there were hardly any apps for it), I looked first for apps that were available on iOS, Android, AND Windows. I figured the developers actually cared more about their users, if they tried to include them all.

You know that Telegram appears to have all the features of WhatsApp, Signal, Zoom, and Clubhouse, all rolled into one - available for iOS, Android, and Windows desktop?

Not saying "start your own thing" over there. Nope. We've all been starry-eyed moderators, then burnt-out moderators, then realized we were working harder at getting other people's projects off the ground than our own.
