The Channel Structure Cleanup Playbook

The Channel Structure Cleanup Playbook
Too many channels splits conversation until every room feels empty. Consolidate with this rule set:

☐ List every channel with its messages-per-week count
☐ Anything under 5/week: merge up or archive — empty rooms signal a dead community
☐ Keep one clear "main" room where the daily pulse lives
☐ One channel = one purpose; if you can't name its purpose in 4 words, cut it
☐ Onboarding sees max 3 channels first, not your full tree
☐ Re-check counts monthly; growth earns new channels, not hope

Fewer, fuller rooms beat a sprawling map of ghost towns. Density is the feature.

Save this for your next launch.
