why are ppl still posting in personal channels? i get it w ones like /six or /july that have evolved into subcultures (which is very cool). but what’s the point if it’s just you?

heavygweit

personal brand, a way of curating casts or marking them as having a specific intent or context 

i see /heavygweit as being a curated version of my profile feed. once i set up channels for stories in Uno, i'll also likely send my evergreen stories there too

a curated version of your home feed makes sense!

I think a lot of people want to build an audience and a place for them. They know they may not be clubted or six but they’d like their own little version of that. 

Also, people haven’t adjusted to new realities and are creatures of habit when change is introduced.

navigating the space of my thoughts here

i'd say, it can be the similar for thoughts and ideas, obviously it is very individualistic

but wouldn't personal ig = personal fc account in that analogy?

Seems like a similar meta as asking why do you post on your personal IG

You want to create your own feed of your own thoughts and projects instead of share your thoughts just to your feed or organize them into a channels

nah, FC profile is representative of a more holistic digital identity including how I contribute to other communities, etc. since all root casts show up there. 

my personal channel is where i can curate my own thinking, exclusive or unique to me.

kinda like someone’s substack profile vs substack newsletter page.

yeah, but you already have one, your fc profile

probably the same reason people have been maintaining personal blogs for decades :)

not everyone wants a personal blog, but some do want a place on the internet to serve as their digital diary or home to their thoughts

Understandable 
But now casting in channels have really helped in engagement and growing account, especially for the fam in spam too

If it's not in a channel, it's still hidden

But I understand what you mean still

The Comma Project

More curated world-building around the stuff that matters

Personal feed will be broader

Also think having others be a part of /comma and contributing to it (hopefully) makes it better than just a personal feed

I already have it and don't have to pay 😂

1) people can super-follow a channel
2) altho they can also super-follow a user, if a user casts in their own channel, it's a different vibe

Someone told me this but a curated version of your feed. Identities are multi faceted so for me specifically my channel will be about food, travel.

post-irony

/post-irony should become a new subculture

i think the members thing limited the ability to post in different channels

at the intersection of humans + algorithms /health-hive

No one likes to see themselves in hidden replies
If it’s not needed, don’t use a channel

Yess
Casting in no channels is better
It doesn’t limit the reach, cus when others interact with you, your cast still gets seen

Paid for them so if we lose them it will be like our casts were voided

Trying to game the feed algo maybe?  Perhaps casts in channels get some kind of feed boost.
