# Channel Research

## [Farcaster Update with Horsefacts at Variant LP Day 2024](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfKqRKkLNW8&t=677s)

Farcaster Channel Experiments:

1. v1: Moderation
2. v2: Curation
3. v3: Membership

What is next:

- Onboarding directly to channels
- Decentralization

---

Channels now have members and moderators. Members should vote on who the moderators are. This is the best way to address the Reddit mod power struggles.

This feature would be a cool unlock for Reddit communities dying in moderation battles. You could totally revive a community with new moderators.

Farcastle will actually be like a subreddit with a bank account
