Our top priority this week is fixing spam in popular channels. The core problem is: - Channels with large distribution attract casters - Some casters post spam or even just slightly off topic stuff - Moderating it is exhausting and thankless We want to find a solution that can be decentralized across clients.

The main goals are: - Make the channel high quality for the average viewer - Minimize actions the host needs to take - Be easily decentralizable

We shipped channel passes a few weeks ago to a handful of channels - it helped, but wasn't sufficient to prevent spam. We're going to extend the idea of passes with some more features that will make channels more "self moderating". Preview to come soon!

It's also been really cool to see /automod evolve! Being able to delegate moderation to a bot seems really useful, and something we'll factor into this next design.
