Farcaster

Observation that channels have progressively moved further along the “moderation spectrum” over time:

Phase 1 - no mod, just a parent url
Phase 2 - “negative” moderation (ban, hide, etc)
Phase 3 - “passive positive” moderation (what we have today, mod bots)
Phase 4 next - “active positive” moderation (mod decides full membership)

I think moving more and more towards true decentralized control of the channels, which makes sense for a protocol like farcaster 

I just worry about preemptively blocking new users from channels that don’t have social capital built up to receive the invite 🤔 

how can we grow the network if the newest members are active positively blocked?

wondering if #4 will cause more work and annoyance for channel owners. 🤷‍♂️

Phase 5, paywall for members. 
Phase 6, increment up the cost of that paywall year on year. 
Phase 7, close membership entirely.

Bubble complete.
