Can someone explain channels to me?

Is it dangerous to let a lot of people be a “member”?

- they work somewhat like subreddits.
- they are probably best thought of as "topics".
- only members can send top-level casts to a channel.
- anyone can reply to casts in a channel.
- casting in channels neither nerfs nor boosts you in the algo.
- users can mute channels, so it's useful as a way to be cast prolifically and allow your followers to selectively turn down the volume on stuff they don't care about.
- users can get notifications for all posts in a channel, allowing them to turn the volume up on what they DO care about.
- mods/members can optionally send an "announcement" notification to channel followers whenever they "pin" a cast in the channel.

and some more things. but i think that mostly covers it.

like others will tell you, they're not a priority for the Warpcast team right now. i personally don't think they'll disappear, but their future is generally in question.
