I can cast to zero channels now. The new default โ€œinvite onlyโ€ behaviour is not a good way to build a social network, imho. If I am locked out of โ€œwhere the discussion is happening,โ€ then I imagine *many* more users will be too. The app becomes dead on arrival for 99% of us.

Your personal 5 minute inconvenience is not a fair critique without considering the whole picture. If the choice was between the above or a platform with 80% bots and spam. In the age of AI this will be an increasing problem that all networks will need to solve and the solutions will look like some variation of gated channels. Can it be improved? Sure. But atm the barrier to entry is so low that if you spent the time looking to join channels as you did this cast then Iโ€™m sure youโ€™d see how easy it is.

What about something like a highlight reel that showcases popular active channels, sort of like how X has "trending"
