i think it does if you (to the extent y'all ever do) indicate public channels are like a one way door?
maybe this is controversial, but letting any channel be public mode sorta just gets us back the to previous iteration of sorta soulless mega channels (which is what i thought we are getting away from)
maybe that's the point, but an easy-ish attack using public mode is to squat a bunch of channels, put it in public mode, let it grow, and anywhere community forms organically the owner/squatter takes it private and hold the community ransom/try to sell it off/etc
making public mode permanent/quasi-permanent makes me a little less reticent to contribute to places where i'm unsure to who the value is accruing
