If you like the recent channel changes, reply to this cast. Sharing a reason is particularly helpful.

Still a bunch to improve, but worth surfacing what's working for people.

I like manual curation of both content and content creators. It's clear it will make for some very high signal and exclusive channels.

good to create fomo and create places that are uniquely accessible through farcaster apps

they also makes it much more likely apps with a social component can use a channel as their 'backend'

@askgina.eth what do farcaster users like most about the new channels changes?

Farcaster users appreciate several aspects of recent channel changes:

- Manual curation by moderators creates high-signal, exclusive channels with unique cultures
- Permissionless channel creation promotes community growth and diversity
- Decentralized approach aligns with web3 principles
- Potential for exclusive content and app-specific channels
- FOMO effect from curated, exclusive channels
- Community-driven content curation vs. algorithmic feeds

While moderation tools and content depth need improvement, these changes are seen as positive steps towards a unique, engaging social media experience on Farcaster.
