The simplest version of making your channel membership more open will be through a frame. 1. Pin the frame as the top cast in your channel 2. A user who isn't a member can click on the frame 3. Frame calls relevant APIs — token-gating, spam filtering, etc. — and the immediately invites any qualifying user to the channel. 4. So while there won't be a formal "request to join channel" built-in to Warpcast, the design allows for any developer to build channel gating software on day 1. 5. This can also be used in conjunction with other moderation software (since we will now allow up to 10 moderators per channel). Use one tool for membership gating and another content moderation (if that's what you want to do), and use the other 8 moderation slots for people heavily invested in your community.

honestly still struggling with this. I love that you all are exploring but it feels like another layer of work to be involved here. I feel like we need to be bringing more new people to the platform, and this will be another barrier. New people won't have the following they need to possibly be accepted, and channels may gatekeep and keep the normies like me out 🙂 - and I definitely don't spam channels. I don't know that artist viewpoints matter as much as builders, but wanted to share at least...thank you.

Agree. From a UX perspective, this current implementation adds too much user friction. Needs to be fleshed out.
