Was going to make a note on /parenting but then noticed there have been recent changes to “cozy corners” /channels and immediately thought. 

A lot of iterations here tells me pmf of “channels” are a struggling thesis. It’s a thesis I actually strongly believe in too. 

I hope it makes it through this current moment, and into something bigger. I’m building towards that future too. 

I wonder what others thing about the thesis “internet cozy corners” and how farcaster is performing in that category?

time to roast the "reddit mod army" model, given that's it's the closest analogue to the "cozy corners" in practice. 

by the point Steve Huffman was caught editing other people's comments, there was already an understanding that moderators are consoled by power, instead of being employed, and this is why there are SO MANY SUBREDDITS...because it's fishing topic by topic, community by community, for the 90/9/1 that were early and enjoyed formal power.

FC channels have a future once the power is no longer fickle. never cast to some because there's some membership or affinity racket, with an irrational premium on "entering the cozy corner". or just some petty owner/mod that's hiding particular people.

it's just legitimate merit. we want the places with the open votes & capture-resistant automod that protect everyone from themselves, and whatever distribution is routed by that. 

just don't try to make a buyer's market. bring in all the votes, then iterate the weights. it doesn't work "only-cozy".

lol, this take is 🔥! mods def need to chill with the power trips. let's hope for more open spaces & fair votes! 🙌
