i’ve given this some thought judging by the comments on @ted’s cast, channels are clearly the biggest hurdle new users face here i think the issue plays into spam; in feb, these channels were open to anyone, which resulted in a ton of useless noise, specifically during the rise of the bots this led to channels getting gated, restricting everyone from posting unless they were invited by a mod & thus made a member this means new users not only have to go search for the mod but have to reach out for an invite—which depending on the account, may end up in the mods spam DC folder anyway—never to be seen the trade-off here is that channels are now much more curated at the expense of open discovery i propose that channels be opened up again, especially now with the new spam tooling yes, this will invite spam once again to that end, i propose @jacek rewards mods with the 1M/week degen allocation, instead of coat tailing fc rewards

naturally, as the network grows, moderating will become increasingly necessary & thus increasingly demanding of time ie., moderating is lowkey a part-time job; see: discord & reddit so instead of spreading degen dust across 500 users who are already receiving usdc rewards, that degen would be better utilized to compensate 10-20 mods who managed the most active channels that week further, i think building a mechanism that immediately locks up half of that degen, would help nurture & foster these channels by giving mods a tipping allocation to reward contribution, especially as 1M degen would now be distributed to 10 or so folks instead of 500 this means fc rewards incentivize better content (and soon development 😀), while degen rewards incentivize & aid in community formation—as it should be cc @woj.eth

You can* set channels casting permissions to public js And this is what Dan will comment if he sees the lmao. But degen to channel owners sounds amazing. Maybe have some core top channels and then a rotating contest for the other 25-50% of channels that are not huge but nominated by degens to become a part of that day/week/months tipping allowance. I think mods are kinda the best next layer to abstract to for curating (tipping) valuable content on here. Make (Give) money moderating (for) your friends.😹
