Why Channels 2.0 is good for new users.
I was the ~6,000th person to join Farcaster. When I got here, I did not know anyone. And believe it or not, 6,000 was a discouraging number, since everyone had pretty tightly-wound histories, statuses, jokes, cliques, etc.
To re-consider that situation through the Channel 2.0 lens: It's as if Farcaster itself was a big channel that I was not a Member in.
I earned my membership by replying genuinely one-by-one, day-by-day to people who I found interesting. But it took upwards of a year to be really in.
Saying this here because I believe that Channels 2.0 Make Farcaster Cozy Again – a blend of exclusive, yet approachable. For new users especially, it's less like a 60,000 person gorilla, and more like a matrix of those 6,000 (or 600 or 60) person cohorts that OG users originally encountered here.
tldr: I think Channels 2.0 are a way for new users to find their exclusive social opportunities even more quickly than OG FC... which was already fantastic. Win-win-win. 11 replies
