i’ve given this some thought
judging by the comments on @ted’s cast, channels are clearly the biggest hurdle new users face here
i think the issue plays into spam; in feb, these channels were open to anyone, which resulted in a ton of useless noise, specifically during the rise of the bots
this led to channels getting gated, restricting everyone from posting unless they were invited by a mod & thus made a member
this means new users not only have to go search for the mod but have to reach out for an invite—which depending on the account, may end up in the mods spam DC folder anyway—never to be seen
the trade-off here is that channels are now much more curated at the expense of open discovery
i propose that channels be opened up again, especially now with the new spam tooling
yes, this will invite spam once again
to that end, i propose @jacek rewards mods with the 1M/week degen allocation, instead of coat tailing fc rewards 5 replies
