More and more I appreciate Signal for what it is. A no nonsense (okay, stickers) messaging tool for people that know each other in real life. I hope it never changes into something "social".
I and a ton of friends use Telegram purely for messaging, none of this gets in the way.

Yeah, but I can't get my family to switch if the UX is subpar.
How long ago did you use signal? The UX is on par with WhatsApp. In fact I've found tiny things that signal does better (it groups sending multiple pictures into on "album" message instead of sending one message per picture like WhatsApp) The only place I could agree WhatsApp has a significantly better UX is with backing up messages.

You're 100% right. I'm just worried that by going more "social", chances increase of Telegram going the same way as WhatsApp and Instagram.
This looks bloody neat - Clubhouse seemed annoying and exclusive, whereas Telegram feels a lot more inclusive.
This is what I would expect. Though Clubhouse is a novel idea, it's relatively easy for a plethora of social networks to implement something similar and immediately have the network effect of their already immense userbase. On Instagram/Youtube/Facebook people can already go live with video. I think we will very quickly see similar audio-rooms on these platforms.
I already have access to Spaces and have been considering trying it. It's not clear to me that anyone would show up, though: they have to be using the mobile app, and I only have ~1800 followers. Maybe people will get used to it? The thing about something like Clubhouse is that the audio chat is _why_ people are there.
I am curious to see how it plays out.
