most channels are abandoned, owners will not care about implementing any (auto) invite system, therefor they die. The couple that do have people caring will have awkward UX to sign up for them. Invite-only channels should be opt-in. Period.

there was a time when warpcast gating was available to all channels. as i recall, very few switched over. why do you think that was?

To me channels are more a hashtag replacement than gated communities. I want to "categorize" my casts in a meaningful way and channels so far have worked for that. Now they turn into communities, and there's no hashtag-esque feature anymore. Maybe warpcast should implement that next.

you can't use channels for categorization under the new regime? because you don't intend to join those channels (or will leave if grandfathered in)?

A hashtag I can just chose, there's no setup required. A channel I have to visit first, check if they allow a way to join, probably go through awkward frame UX that might be broken, or someone approves it manually, wait and only then I can actually use it. Way to much hassle for just categorizing a cast.

you can still cast to channels you aren't a member of. your content won't be visible to members, but that won't stop you from doing what you describe.

You sure? https://warpcast.notion.site/Upcoming-channel-changes-1056a6c0c101800caee6ea8133f8f966 > Channels now require membership to cast or reply — you must be invited to be a member.
