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. The only thing that matters is the engagement numbers. We may be an edge case. But from a UX standpoint, decentralization sucks here. If every channel has their own hoops to jump through becoming a member will be the exception rather than the rule. And that may not be bad, but it’s different.
