Thumbs Up & Friends

Apple

@dwr.eth this is crazy. Why are you the sole mod for /apple? You basically don’t curate the posts ever so there’s almost nothing here, and there’s no “recent” tab in a general interest channel!

What is the point? Really? What are you trying to gatekeep, or virtue signal, or what? It seems so capricious as to be outright obnoxious.

And there are several channels you’re doing this for. Why should anyone want to use channels (aside from their own) if this is how they will work?

Example, here’s a perfectly average post I made the other day. No reason it shouldn’t be in /apple. It doesn’t break any rules, it’s about Apple, it’s from
verified caster and should meet even a priority mode setting, so what then is the motivation? Instead you have two posts in two weeks in a channel about one of the worlds biggest tech companies 😮‍💨

This didn't address the question in any way and almost reads as a reason not to use channels at all. Unless you're saying that it still shows to followers of the channel, at which point it's just a hashtag.

It goes out to all of your followers!  Very few people view channel feeds.
