Upcoming channel changes

We're *previewing* some upcoming changes so people 1) can understand and 2) provide feedback.

These changes are not launching yet. It will be a couple weeks. There will also be a bunch of communication to channel owners. 

After reading the entire doc, feel free to reply to with feedback or send me a DC. I've tried to answer a lot of common questions in the FAQ.

raw thoughts on the new direction:
- I think it'll push channels to develop their own unique identities
- I like splitting up hosts / members / followers and making it clear in the UI who is in / out. helps curate the vibe and give credit to contributors.
- more ppl will cast w/o a channel now and that is better. reduces "where to cast this" decision fatigue. fewer steps -> easier to cast -> more casts

it'll take work and friction to retrain the userbase, but I think this a strongly positive move. Right now channels are trying to be two things at once, better to pick one and go with it.

good thoughts. the only thing that bothers me a bit is that replies and closed to members. completely get the moxie reply issue but feels like opportunity for engagement in good stuff will be harder for those still finding their way on FC.

The Moxie issue is that big accounts are getting way too many replies that are low effort, bots, Moxie farming  so effort needs to be made to help them out

what's the moxie reply issue?

I think the team will react quickly / iterate on how to show replies. also am not entirely sure how I feel about it, bc on the one hand you do want some way for new ppl to jump in, on the other you want to curate. but I'm sure there's a good middle ground.
