I may be the person who’s most excited for  Channel Memberships

Here’s why👇

I’ve long argued that the current iteration of channels feels more like topic tags than Communities. You choose a topic when casting and then your cast goes to people interested in that topic. 

Community is different. Community is a group of people organized around common goals. Layer on onchain and it’s: common goals + collective ownership! 

A big part of our vision is that every channel member is a member-owner with skin in the game. 

When you come to a channel community in a couple weeks you’ll be prompted to buy a membership via Fan Tokens — which gives you access to the channel, partial ownership of it, AND shared participation in all rewards earned by the channel. 

This is the way.

Bro I'm not buying channel tokens to cast in a channel.

So the protocol is now controlled by you and your project?
There was some agreement between farcaster and airstack?
I won't want to continue here if it continues to become centralized and gated like that, honestly.
And I have plenty of skin in the game already

All channels will require membership once the new version launches in early October

It will just drive active users like me back to twitter tbh

Without automod we have to prepare for this reality.

Channels will have membership, it’s up the the channel owner how they do it. They can be fully open, ie share a link so that anybody can join, or they can create a complex gating system.
