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.

As someone who relied heavily on it to keep 98% of posts in my channels main feed since again I rely on no-code solutions to help artists be visible and thrive what are the options going to be other than personally handing out invites to the channel. That and when it comes to our own “channels” where we do want engagements under the posts but not allow folxs to post in it what should we do?

Is that for replying as well or just posting? Cuz idk if I could invite everyone to reply and remove the spam if it shows up.

Just invite people you want to be there. If they misbehave, remove.
