No, and that's not what I said.

Clubhouse is not just private phone calls. It's a social network.



What is a social network? Fundamental its a graph structure of human relationships. Humans are the actors/nodes and edges are the interactions.

Two people chatting fits this criteria. You can have a private chat on Clubhouse between two people.


> Clubhouse is not just private phone calls.

Yes, you can have a private chat on Clubhouse. You can also have a private chat on Facebook or Twitter. They are all social networks.

I don't think trying to find edge cases for what constitutes a social network is helpful to this conversation.


Versatility is not an edge case. By your standard, conference calls can't be considered phone calls because few people ever used the feature.


I feel like I shouldn’t need to explain why a conference call and a social network are different.
