PSA 

Clearing up a few misconceptions

1. Casting in your home feed gives you the same distribution as casting in a channel.

2. Everyone can read and reply to casts in channels

3. Most people will appear above the fold with a reply.

4. We changed the way channels work to shift them from hashtags to communities.

5. If you’re annoyed by the changes, just cast in your home feed. You’re not missing out on distribution or discovery casting in a channel.

To 4) I know you and the team have been saying “channels were hashtags and we’re changing that”, how sure are you that your user base also saw them as hashtags?

Just seems to muddle all mental models. If channels were hashtags, wouldn’t a better solution have been…hashtags?
