Second channels question Again, looking for input. No imminent change. Assume a “yes” to the below makes it more likely that we unlock channel innovation in other apps and they are fully decentralized and that happens *a lot* sooner than alternatives. Here’s the hypothetical: 1. We remove all the existing channel functionality from Farcaster app. 2. All old and future channel casts still appear in the app (ie FIP-2 casts today but we make them a bit nicer than they are now). 3. In order to cast in a channel you use a mini app or another client like Cura or Zapper. Yes or No?

Curious what tradeoffs you see between continuing to support channels in the main app vs offloading that to third-party clients. What gets lost (or gained) in UX, network effects, or growth by removing native channel support? And what becomes possible sooner if you make this change?

The concept is hard for new users. Making it easier for new users makes it way more work for mods. Neither really drive growth.
