Last night on the State of the Union we chatted about expiring channels. So far, the best Dune dashboard to see this is the query below. Navigate to All Active Farcaster Channels and sort by date. Since channels have changed greatly this year and no longer give an algo boost over casting in your home feed, we chatted about the pros and cons of renewing channels. I have a personal channel with a Fan Token on the channel but I'm not sure if its worth renewing. Would love to know what others are thinking!

I like channels as a way of galvanizing a community. It's a place to rally and post memes and alpha, but in a searchable and public way, which gives an opportunity to attract new members. Posting to Home is also great, but makes communities, and their vibe, harder to find.

I agree about that and it annoys me to no end as I have always been treading that line and not part of the "cool kid" power badgers. However, I think that is not a channel problem is it? Seem like system problem and how it defines people. It's hilarious actually that one of the killer draws to Farcsaster has been big accounts shilling $degen and the like, but when someone comes here to join in that game, they get marked as spam. I hate that people are made to feel like they are not good enough to join in freely. It's demoralizing.

I still don’t know how I feel about the channel changes in general. A lot of my community is marked as spam and I don’t get notified when they post.  The whole point to community is to communicate and we still can’t do that.
