The amount of FC related groups popping up on telegram is wild. Honestly kind of funny that it's taken so long. TG hasn't changed in ways relevant to these groups. WC has changed/improved a lot. The home feed focused experience is unsatisfactory. It's noisy, nudges disingenuous activity, and totally ignores community. Channels actually could compete with telegram, particularly for large communities. The problem is channel UX and notifications. TG is high signal and I can tinker notis where necessary. Everything in there is still of value. As it stands, no shot I'm turning on WC's notis. That would be a lot of effort, and as @zinger noted yesterday, the noti format is yikes. Make channels mini-apps for communities -prioritize channel UX/UI -subchannels/linked channels -first party mod -lots of other things Nft gated GC's are not going to compete with tg lol

We add more features to channels: no change to metrics. We add more features to DCs: metrics go up. Solve for X. People already find basic channels confusing. Adding more complexity to channels is unlikely to solve it.

Any plans to add gated channels? I know that all messages are available at the protocol level but maybe via encryption? (guessing this also might be on the radar once E2EE DCs are ready) Feels like a lot of the reason that users gravitate towards group chats nowadays (not just on FC, in social more broadly) is being able to share thoughts privately

If we did gated channels (an idea we've considered), would not be e2ee to start for speed of iteration. Trying to figure out the next steps for channels and priority. Team is hyper focused on: 1. Feed / recommendations / onboarding 2. DCs 3. Developer legos and Hub stability I don't think most people actually care about e2ee if you look at revealed preference. I'm a big believer personally, fwiw. Just not worth the overhead when searching for the correct product shape.
