As rumoured earlier, Reddit has its take on Clubhouse's social audio offering. Called Reddit Talk, it'll be available within subreddits. But the feature is currently only available as a "sneak preview," and right now, only subreddit moderators can initiate a Talk. Hosts can invite, mute, and remove speakers. But any iOS or Android Reddit user can listen to these discussions. Moderators who are interested in trying out the feature can add themselves to a waitlist for access.
As The Verge pointed out, moderation has been a problem with Clubhouse, so Reddit's decision to start small with moderators getting initial access might be a smart move. Sometime in the future, mods will be able to bring in community members as co-hosts.
According to Reddit, it is "testing ways" to allow hosts to customize how Talks look, including emojis, different backgrounds, and users getting a chance to change their avatar.
