Reminder that Clubhouse and its lead investor a16z has made no effort to prioritize user safety/moderation or tamp down on rampant bullying, racism, sexism, and harassment on the app
If you’ve dealt with any of these issues on Clubhouse or been made uncomfortable by others on the app and the platform has done nothing, my DMs are open I would love to hear from you. Also, record these conversations!! It’s your best chance for accountability unfortunately
Absolutely horrible https://twitter.com/yael_gilboa/status/1310779374589767680
Seeing ppl tweet abt how "Silicon Valley has learned nothing." But that's not true, this is what they want. They've learned to prioritize engagement over user safety, they've learned to treat moderation and harassment as an afterthought, hate boosts their metrics and they know it
The Clubhouse founder's former coworkers spoke out to the Verge a few months ago saying his gross regard for user safety is a longstanding pattern and they don't believe he's qualified to run a social app. https://www.theverge.com/interface/2020/7/8/21316172/clubhouse-content-moderation-taylor-lorenz-harassment-abuse
