The thing with Clubhouse and TikTok is that they rely to a large extent on recommendations. TikTok's algorithm in particular is just plain addictive, or that's what I was told (I don't have the app installed). And it's what contributed a lot to it's popularity. It's next to impossible have this kind of recommendation system in a decentralized network.

And IMO it's a good thing. Social media shouldn't be addictive. It's a tool to connect with people, and that's it. It shouldn't be a substitute to a real life (unfortunately it is for me currently, but well.....)

@grishka @dansup Not to say that TikTok would have no place in the Fediverse, but besides its implementation, I'd be a lot more interested in seeing how someone would approach making something like a Fediverse TikTok clone fit in. As far as I'm concerned, TikTok _is_ its recommendation system. it does kind of feel like a distilled version of what we're all trying to avoid, but maybe that's just me projecting
