Swell V Whatapp groups

article image placeholderUploaded by @MarkR
I'd love to hear your thoughts again on why you love Voice over for communicating and creating connection over text. And are you I'm guessing that you have family and friends on Swell. You must do. How's it going? Who else has tried it? Let me know

Have you tried setting up Swell groups for friends and family?

In that either the audio may be perceived as too intimate, which is uncomfortable when we normally have the screen or the keyboard between us and the other person and also not just hearing their own voice might be uncomfortable, but also sometimes just the mere idea of it being recorded and there for all time, so to speak, can be daunting. Because there's so many things that happen in social media now of judgment, let alone if it's in even circles within friends and family

And even if I say it's not for the social media, it's for the group. Let's connect because of this group here. Voice is good. It's just another thing that they have to do, another intrusion. Right? So that's why it's probably not working. People are fed up of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter, and now you want me to connect with you on this platform they've never heard of?

Like you said, everything everything kind of assumes an individual or personal entity of its own topic or subject, anything. And it's interesting because anything is kind of independent on its own. So ideas or whatever opinions or topics tend to stand out and things are kind of different. But yeah, that's a change. I think it gives you more it's a much wider platform for different ideas to be challenged, arguments, education, things

Thanks for replying, man. I agree with you, man. It's a really interesting platform and I like the way everything stands out each subject. I don't actually look at WhatsApp as a social media platform. It is just a messaging platform. And I guess that's the problem because people are so used to that. I'm just talking about messaging like small groups
