Automod originally used unstable internal APIs. Seeing it work influenced the evolution of channels, and mod bots became a first class part of the spec.

You can talk about why it's impossible to create anything, or you can create something that shows what's possible.

Respect to @jtgi and all who "show, don't tell."

We hadn’t even considered Automod as a category of Farcaster client. 

@jtgi didn’t wait for an FIP or public APIs. He just built something useful and people were willing to jump through some hoops to use it.

Made us want to design channels around this new category of client.

If someone wanted to make their channel open to anyone without having to manually invite, would a frame like this work?
