Wrote some thoughts on the new channels update that's coming. tl;dr definitely think it makes sense to lean into the "cozy corners" over the broader "hashtag" channels. Seems like the question when casting will now be if you're trying have a nuanced convo w friends or just posting as you would on Twitter. There's some channels that are clearly hashtags such as /books /founders that will need to niche down. And there are some today that are clearly cozy corners such as /latenightcrew /six. But it'll be interesting to see how the "middle" channels will adapt. For example, how do subtle topics such as /techarchive or location channels like /new-york or company channels like /paragraph look like? In the short term, there will definitely be chaos, pushback, etc. But in the long run, the corners should keep new users engaged long enough to "hook" them. THE MOST IMPORTANT part of this channels update will be reducing the friction of finding homes new users resonate with https://terminallyonchain.xyz/cozycorners

on concept for things like /tech-archive that benefit from letting anyone post is a “channel lobby” a feed of all the top level casts to that channel from non-members

Alt: If you think your cast should be posted in /techarchive, mention /techarchive. There are great tools like /buoy that can be used to notify channel members and then they can qc the post in the channel if it fits. A channel-specific client built for these types of channels could make the whole thing seamless: It has a page with mentions only accessible to the members, you can add filters like "followed by a member", or "has SocialRank", etc. and QC to the channel is one click.

yep had a similar thought there when I was writing the post. /buoy will be key for channel owners to make sure they're not missing out on good content for their communities. think people will also start tagging brand accounts a lot more to get the attention needed instead of using /paragraph or /supercast
