Made a good old fashioned blog post. The previous one was about nostr 😁
IRL meetings (even online): it's expensive to gather everyone together and make them pause everything else when only one person speaks at a time. You cannot speed up or speed-read the conversation to get to the point and save time.

Async voice chat with profile pics and subtitles is vibes… feels like I get to know people better, and misunderstand them less due to hearing their voice inflections.
I like being able to switch back between this and nostr/Twitter. Sometimes I struggle to explain something simply with writing, so now I can try with subtitled voice chat at my own leisure.
Do we need this if you have the option to read the transcript / write only as a text (and AI customised voice reads it back to you)?
I do like the natural feel of human voice. Even though you don’t use the video mode you get so much more cue of the intent, context and personality of the message as you said.
Might be harder to spam and shout when you do it with your voice. Though I might be dearly mistaken here 😁
Composability of ideas and discussions is a powerful concept that has not been utilised much yet.
