How will replies work from non-members with the new channel model? 1. Only members can create a new cast in a channel 2. Anyone can reply to a cast in a channel 3. On Warpcast, member replies will appear "above the fold" and non-members will be below the fold in "Show more replies" 4. However, if the original cast author likes or replies a cast from a non-member—or a channel mod likes or replies—the cast will appear above the fold. 5. This balances the membership model for channels with the ability for discovering new people, highlighting their reply and potentially inviting them to the channel. 6. Since you can have up to 10 moderators in a channel, including helpful bots, we expect that people will build bots that help surface interesting replies for non-members (and possibly even auto-invite them). Developers will get creative. 7. Ultimately, your channel, your rules.

Damn. Non-members getting cooked with the bots. I don't know if this is a great idea.

Channels are about membership. This is allowing some amount of discovery.

As an aside, what are the new chances that casts that are not posted in channels will get on "Trending"?

Trending hasn't been a priority for a long time. May remove it entirely.

All right. Since channels are the most prominent ways to see casts of people you don't follow, what are you doing about discoverability now that people that can cast in channels will drastically reduce?
