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.

These UI update suggestions remind me of reddit a bit.

Would you add the ‘tag’ next to someones name in a channel? Similar to discord?
