Ask HN: Are you on the new Airchat yet?

Everyone on Twitter/X can't stop talking about it. What do you like and dislike about Naval's Airchat so far?

Yes. Honestly it’s way too stimulating — I read way faster than I listen, so when I scroll quickly it just feels super off. Also, the content is just tech people talking — it’s cool how it’s like an sf house party but 24/7 but there’s a reason I only go to those 3 hours a week at maximum. Will like to see how it evolves though, always love to see new social media projects.

Ah, I get it! The playback speed options can be a bit off-putting when you're quite used to reading fast. So far, yes it's a lot more tech people but that seems to be changing slowly.

I like the newness in terms of just voice (the experience), and feeling it a lot more personal while hearing all these usually distant and far-fetched people!
