Channel Changes and You (a thread)

MAJOR Channel changes take place today, Oct 4, around 1:00 PM PDT. 

If you are a host, you should be studying the Notion notes about channels and be ready to invite moderators, human or bots, to your channel and decide how you will invite new members going forward. 

As a channel user, what happens at 1 PM will be different for every channel you are casting in. 

If you are NOT invited to join a channel and become a member, you won’t be able to cast into the channel. The Warpcast UX will change and you will be stopped from casting.  You will have read access to all channels. If you reply in a channel that you aren’t a a member of, you are labeled as spam inside the channel and your replies go to the “show more replies” bucket unless a moderator or the original caster engages with your post. The UX will not stop you from replying. 

If you don’t like how a channel is set up, make your own channel. There are over 13,000 channels on Farcaster. Find your tribe.

Great read for anyone wondering what will happen with channels in warpcast going forward.

aim for the impossible and achieve the improvable

It’s brilliant. Warpcast moderation mode(85% of channels) has been hiding how bad it really is. 

Let’s rip the bandaid off and let everyone see it and deal with it as a community.

Thank you for the really good explanation, I like that you used the 'warpcast is now handling the spam problem to the channel owners' lol, that made A LOT of sense on why they are doing this
