what will happen first.. channel decentralization or channel deprecation?

deprecation makes more sense than decentralization at this stage

why are we talking a/b deprecating? 

man, channels seems so undertapped. i wanted them to be like discord servers, and communites like anon has.

channels are a unique thing that doesn't really exist in bluesky, twitter

my take - Channels don’t need MM/Warpcast to grow.

The legos to drive 10x growth/engagement within a channel are already there:
- signups are permissionless, invite flow is getting better
- frames already allow you to build channel apps and experiences
- many channel moderation tools are available 
- use things like @curabot to curate algo feeds, channel leaderboards, distribute rewards. You can use frames for creating better form factors for your community, don’t need to rely on Warpcast feed/algo. 
- launch tokens for channel members, reward fairly. 

The challenge for channels is not lack of tools or decentralized creation/ownership. A few motivated channel entrepreneurs will show how to drive growth in channels using frames, tokens, onchain transactions, curated feeds and bots. And then everyone will follow fast.

agree with @dwr.eth on this “We need 100-1000x more posts in channels before you can consider channels to be something like reddit.”

i am in a discord group w/ a ton of farcasters b/c ... well, bc discord servers work. we created a direct cast group, but it wasn't snappy enough, didn't feel like we owned it enough, and not fun interface. we go there to talk, and come to farcaster to post and respond. 

bummer
