Upcoming channel changes

We're *previewing* some upcoming changes so people 1) can understand and 2) provide feedback.

These changes are not launching yet. It will be a couple weeks. There will also be a bunch of communication to channel owners. 

After reading the entire doc, feel free to reply to with feedback or send me a DC. I've tried to answer a lot of common questions in the FAQ.

I like the simplicity and how these features battles spam/bots effectively.

Channels will require more work from moderators, but they also feel more like communities.

I can see inviting people to 'my channels' instead of inviting them to Farcaster.

If you have my @hypersub subscription I'll invite you to my channels once these features roll out

metal casting, 3d prints,
AI, robotics and mashups of all of these things.

The channel as an app could still get all that because it’s all still visible and accessible in Warpcast but new users could sort of slide into whatever you are doing and have the farcaster part invisible for now.

no

they will have to deal with a standalone app for my own content. 

This _maybe_ makes sense if you have millions of readers/listeners but even the biggest creators in the world (mr beast, joe rogan, etc) don't do this because you lose new audience / traffic / network effects

If you go that route have you considered a stand alone app for the channel so you don’t have to explain what farcaster is to people that you onboard?   This might be the key to getting people past the “I don’t want to deal with another social media app” hurdle we currently have

That's an important change, it's great because we no longer ask to invite someone to an app but into the creator's universe. Bravo, that's a genius idea!

Yes!

Good to know there’s a channel I’ll be able to cast in 🥹
