I was going to post this in /warpcast but the new channels system means I can't.

So here it is: the new channels system is quite possibly one of the worst designed, exclusionary systems I have ever seen not only on any social platform, but on any platform in all of existence.

I am saying this without hyperbole. I've had the pleasure of getting to work on & with a lot of social platforms through my time in enterprise dev, before going full degen in the crypto world.

I've seen a lot of bad systems, but honestly, this one is just.. really out there. Exclusionary-by-default is not how to grow a young social network.

And don't come at me with the "just use a different client" shtick. It's natural to get attached to a client/platform you've used for months, and feel dismay when there's a pattern of changes being made which detract from the whole reason you fell in love with it.

I can't even imagine the thought process behind this one. It is absolutely baffling. Feels like a ghost town since it was implemented.

Even if I think channels is a push in the right direction long term, it’s important to surface valid concerns and critiques
