Looking for feedback on this iteration for channels The single biggest remaining complaint is people feeling like the pre-existing, large, topic based channels like /food or /founders should be more accesible. It will also reduce work for channel mods who don't want to have to approve every single person who wants to cast in their channel, but are OK giving up some control of who (and they can always invite someone to be a member to guarantee it). Curious: 1. Would you turn this on or off for your channel? 2. Any concerns? https://warpcast.notion.site/Public-mode-11f6a6c0c10180869699c725fa9e02e3

i know its more complex, but since it sorta feels like a legacy hangover/i hate change kind of thing it maybe makes sense to not call them channels at all as you said they're basically big vestigial hashtag aggregators so maybe a lightweight way to handle it is by keeping the frontend looking like a channel, but fill in the info so it's clear that it is NOT a channel, is not actively moderated/community forming, and just make it default public algo mode it gives people the security blanket that it's still there, but also let's you basically wash your hands of it. you could even make it a @ponder poll or something to let people vote on what channels get morphed into this... square? exchange? idk a good name - zombie channel?

Assume there’s clear rules for each channel: membership, public, future versions. Does that clear it up?

i think it does if you (to the extent y'all ever do) indicate public channels are like a one way door? maybe this is controversial, but letting any channel be public mode sorta just gets us back the to previous iteration of sorta soulless mega channels (which is what i thought we are getting away from) maybe that's the point, but an easy-ish attack using public mode is to squat a bunch of channels, put it in public mode, let it grow, and anywhere community forms organically the owner/squatter takes it private and hold the community ransom/try to sell it off/etc making public mode permanent/quasi-permanent makes me a little less reticent to contribute to places where i'm unsure to who the value is accruing

I also think you adjusted to the new model? Trying to solve for the more casual user who is upset about the changes.
