Future of channels convo hosted by @cura is the don’t miss bi-weekly round table for me. Sooo good. @inceptionally @humpty.eth @anmworld3 @moe & of course @sahil all sharing thoughts & ideas 

Channels are in the BDFLs hands now. Which direction will they go? idk but follow cura & join the lobby. General consensus & working code.  

My outlook:
Channels are miniapps
They should control signers
They issue entitlements 
They have wallets

My desires:
💯 decentralized 
FID based ‘mini’app centric
FIP-2 at their core (opens non social-feed use cases)

Challenges 
- [many]

wrapped up a great call with some channel mods/owners

talked about possible roadmap for channels, what's missing, magic moments. some common threads:
- channels want more ways to drive engagement and growth, not just distribution. 
- discovery is important across apps, but so is having direct access to your community.
- folks run different types of channels, so flexibility matters across feeds, onboarding and moderation.
- the idea of owning your front page for your channel without relying on one app is powerful. 

thanks to those who still show up for channels!

a lot can be learnt from sub reddit style of things i feel, when it comes to channels here
