Upcoming channel changes

We're *previewing* some upcoming changes so people 1) can understand and 2) provide feedback.

These changes are not launching yet. It will be a couple weeks. There will also be a bunch of communication to channel owners. 

After reading the entire doc, feel free to reply to with feedback or send me a DC. I've tried to answer a lot of common questions in the FAQ.

New channel model has me thinking about when conflict happens:

v1 (hide, warn, ban): direct conflict over content, after the fact. "mods are hiding all my posts!"
v2 (curate): indirect conflict, sometimes long after the fact. "mods are shadowbanning me, why isn't my post in main?!"
v3 (membership): direct conflict before and after. "mods won't let me in!" and "mods kicked me!"

v2 was alluring because it seemed to reduce conflict, but I think there is something like a conservation law of moderation here: you can move it around, but it will always happen somewhere.

v3 is the best iteration yet imo, better to be direct and explicit than dancing around the awkwardness of "shadowbans" in v2

I think being a member of a channel is something that will carry weight and if done right have the opportunity to empower members to be more active in a curated community
