I’d love to see the engagement numbers as this channels experiment plays out. I can’t be the only person unfollowing channels I used to participate in because I can’t be bothered to figure out the specific membership rules or method to reconnect.

lol. I just casted something similar. I understand why a lot of the decisions were made but it’s insane how much cognitive load it requires to figure out what is going on in a given channel… and I am an active daily user

Unless owners take a very active role in recruiting, channels will become group chats of cozy intimacy. Or stagnate. And people will revert to their own feeds. That’s my guess.

Yeah. I am gonna unfollow a bunch and just cast more I guess. Again, I get the reason for a lot of the changes. For a net new user it might not be the same experience. They will just follow. But for people making the transition it feels like being kicked out of a community

As a new channel owner I’m trying to figure this out too! And regrettably don’t have a lot of time to do any of this, trying to let the dust settle to see how things shake out in the next week or so. I will say that from stack overflow q&a days that you need more than 1 moderator, so maybe my first job should be identifying and deputizing more mods to promote resiliency

Yeah. I did that in a channel I am the owner of. But yeah, setting up all that stuff and the cognitive load is real
