Clubhouse is a social network silo for momentary audio only IRC-style rooms/channels; on the IndieWeb some folks use Mumble for similar functionality on their personal sites.

Criticism

• Criticism: use Clubhouse or know someone that does? Congrats your phone number is on the Dark Web: https://twitter.com/mruef/status/1418693478574346242
  • "Full phone number database of #Clubhouse is up for sale on the #Darknet. It contains 3.8 billion phone numbers. These are not just members but also people in contact lists that were synced. Chances are high that you are listed even if you haven't had a Clubhouse login." @mruef July 23, 2021
