Channel member migration plan

1. Last week, we previewed the upcoming channel changes

2. We want to ensure that existing channels have a set of members on Day 1

3. We’re proposing automatically converting active followers → members for channels.

4. We’re optimizing for something straightforward and pragmatic, not perfect.

5. We’re looking for feedback on this proposal.

re, the coming channel changes and day one members:

>for channels /with moderation enabled/ any user who was liked by a mod or mod-bot will be auto-migrated to the "new" channel.
>dan is asking for feedback but this sounds workable to me.

what popular channels are /not/ moderated, if any?

I don’t like new rules and I think you are not too

I think the rules are fine. I would have done worse, earlier, with less opportunity for feedback/ bitching.

Won’t that blow for large channels ?
/memes /degen 

I don’t know

start simpler.

what makes a channel large?
and why do we care about it being large?

Being big doesn't give credit to the channel and Farcaster ? Unlike Telegram, Twitter and Instagram, we don't have page or channel with million followers on Farcaster

Some users care about these numbers, that's why meta didn’t remove fake users

Sure. Who are these people and why do we care about their obsession with bad numbers?

Big stupid numbers is a web2 thing. We'll have big stupid number channels, too, of course. Hell, we can just falsify the numbers like X does. But bedrock MUST be quality people/ creative content. Numbers are nothing.

uh, sort of. they've admitted that "growth" isn't the priority, but that's different from your sentence.

how do you get to "maintaining the status quo" from "channels are permissioned now"? if anything, that substantially upsets the status quo and gives the right kind of channel host a new opportunity.

I think currently Dan is not thinking about getting new users and he is not interested in getting new users, he is currently focusing on maintaining the status quo, this is clear from the spam rules and the new rules for channels.

I agree with you and I'm not one of those people who care about numbers, but I think numbers play an important role in marketing and advertising, it's the numbers that drive and entice users.
