If you're unhappy with the new channels format — please reply to this cast with specific feedback!

The more detailed and specific, the better I can help solve your challenges.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Micro feedback: I've tried setting up mod a couple of times and it didn't work (I installed auto mod actions but then I got "auto mod not installed") when attempting to downvote/ban/whatever.

Macro: Channels was straight forward. It's less so now. Additional time I need to spend learning a new FC internal-rules thing instead of it _just working_. 

Windows/Linux v Apple paradigm, I prefer the latter but get if the user base is drifting towards the latter (it is crypto after all).

Challenge of decentralizing stuff. Have to build Apple but be as open as Linux. Will improve; thanks for the feedback!

1. Post FarCon, clear increased developer interest around channels and DCs

2. We genuinely believe permissionless channels will increase growth in the same way permissionless sign ups back in October helped lead to growth earlier this year.

3. We dramatically simplified channels to get ready for decentralizing them

Gonna ask a dumb question and you can ignore if you want: I remember reading maybe 4-6 months back that WC _had_ been prioritizing Growth _and_ Decentralization, but the big unlock in traction came when you decided to focus on one thing (growth). 

Why the shift back towards decentralization w/ channels?
