Warpcast

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.

I wonder how this idea from @matthew could look. Would this mean we go into the discord/reddit direction? 🤔

It might be, but nothing stops you from joining the channels. It just depends on the 'gate' the channel mods install I guess. Based on score, tokens, bot or not, etc..

Not sure, it seems like it. Or like public groups in Facebook that you have to be approved to join. I'm not sure how this will affect our casts though. As we normally cast to a channel, using it in a way like a tag to get reach. Will that be over, as if we are not in the channel we won't be able to post to it I'm guessing.
