tldr (tim reilly)

Why Channels 2.0 is good for new users. I was the ~6,000th person to join Farcaster. When I got here, I did not know anyone. And believe it or not, 6,000 was a discouraging number, since everyone had pretty tightly-wound histories, statuses, jokes, cliques, etc. To re-consider that situation through the Channel 2.0 lens: It's as if Farcaster itself was a big channel that I was not a Member in. I earned my membership by replying genuinely one-by-one, day-by-day to people who I found interesting. But it took upwards of a year to be really in. Saying this here because I believe that Channels 2.0 Make Farcaster Cozy Again – a blend of exclusive, yet approachable. For new users especially, it's less like a 60,000 person gorilla, and more like a matrix of those 6,000 (or 600 or 60) person cohorts that OG users originally encountered here. tldr: I think Channels 2.0 are a way for new users to find their exclusive social opportunities even more quickly than OG FC... which was already fantastic. Win-win-win.

This is my main concern with the changes. Insiders can adapt pretty easily. I appreciate your take but still have a couple concerns: 1. How does an outsider get into those 60 or 600 cozy corners when they're replies go hidden and they have to prove themselves to get an invite (from many)? 2. Onboarding has gotten much more complicated especially to get them in the right places when several of the best are hypersub or FT... -I need you pay $5 -I need you get a Moxie Pass -I need you to earn Moxie -I need you to buy these FTs -I need you to pay and subcribe to these Hypers We'll figure it out, but I don't think we are there yet. We are honing for insiders and making it harder for outsiders.

I just joined so not really sure what it was like before, but I imagine open membership must have made things pretty spammy at least for popular topics. Now I'm just trying to figure out how one actually gains membership to a cool channel other than by pestering a moderator?

I came in shortly after you and also had pretty similar experience of it taking about a year to be really feeling reasonably connected with several folks. I think your 2.0 assessment is a good one. So when are we getting a tldr fan token? ;-)

I like this approach. And I like this connection that is happening to enter in a club or meet again in different communities...

I think you’re right and am excited to see how it goes! We were in the same fc boat, ~6k users when I joined and I felt totally out of place that first year. It’s been amazing to see how it’s evolved and this next chapter feels great already.

It seems like it’ll be all good for new users, only for them to see how most of the channels where they will get good visibility are gated and they’ll have to pay or spend something to be a part :(

I don’t really feel that way. Lots of people who were regulars in communities are now functionally ostracized below the fold. It’s become more unapproachable than ever.

After the birth of the new channel, I have to say that Farcaster has taken a big step forward. What is important is the idea - coming because of the channel and staying because of the platform. It is a very philosophical and highly operational idea. This idea will definitely guide Farcaster and Warpcast to complete the project. Phased user growth, and 💲moxie’s mechanism is great and will assist this idea very well

Thanks for the hard work but these things only really affect new small users. All these cozy little chanels are so tight that to get in is a challenge, for instance I got into /success for 0.001 ETH and honestly after posting at least 100 casts in there I literally had 4 people in total interact with me and 2 were the chanel creator and 2nd in command. Now it's 0.01ETH and for 4 people it's not worth the 50$ a month. And ya the chanel looks good, see them talking about how great it is and how they all stick together and that true and great if you're one of their friends. I'm gonna guess this isn't the only example. I know I sound like a whinny bitch but nothing but facts.
