preliminary and evolving thoughts on channel changes pros - better mod tools that match standard community management needs (hiding, banning, etc) - ability to send pinned announcements to channel followers/members (tho may get spammy if all channels use it all the time 😅) - reaching new people who are curious about my channels, overall fc activity increase cons - wish there was a one-click mass invite of channel followers to members (tools help but don’t seem to be getting to everyone) - actually *less* wanting to cast in channels for now bc of concerns about friends not being able to reply and be seen if they don’t happen to be members of the same channel - concerned that folks are losing visibility of their content if they didn’t re-enroll in channel membership. now I would advise all creators including myself to post enduring content on their own website and syndicate to here and other social platforms - home feed has gotten “weird” for now and I feel isolated from my friends

not sure if pro or con: I’m more likely to check more replies just in case someone replied and isn’t part of a channel, instead of assuming it’s mostly spam

A lot of people are sad that they lost their streak 🥲 I'm assuming people's home feed not showing past casts they did in channels is just a temporary bug, otherwise that is a problem too.

Syndication should be the standard, even when we're working on decentralized platforms. Don't let social be the only place your content resides.

I'm interested to see what happens with personal channels, especially the smaller ones. It used to be like "facebook wall" and people can post, but this channel change might change it. I made no changes to /kbc expect adding a banner. For brand or topic channels, I've seen people add the channel invite into the url field, or pin a cast with the invite url. part of this change reminds me of when GDPR came into effect and all newsletter saw their member numbers drop, but click-rate go up.

thanks for sharing your thoughts as they evolve. re: con 2+3, i've actually found that i am now more inclined to click the "see more" section and like / reply to people who aren't channel members. while this action is anecdotal based on my own personal behavior, it feels better for new user discoverability/engagement.

Cons: if you're not a member of a channel where you used to cast, those casts are gone 💀 until you're a member again 😅 cc: @cameron, some of the people I follow lost their long streak in /cats and their casts disappeared as well. @dainu was one of them

It's definitely going to take time for me to adapt. I'm a serial channel poster. Now I have to grovel to a bunch of mods for permission to contribute. In fairness, most are fine with giving me permission, but some of the bigger channels are no doubt getting spammed about the same thing, and I don't like feeling as if I'm spamming. Some channel owners clearly thought their approach through prior to the switch, but I'd gather more didn't. I gather we'll likely be in a transition period where we see those who care enough to adapt and experiment, and those who can't be bothered. Will be interesting to look back in a few weeks and see what the overall consensus is
