Experiment: Hiding power badges

Power badges will be hidden on Warpcast for a week. We’re running this experiment because:

1. New user find it hard to get follows due to “power badge bias”
2. Power badge isn’t being used much in Warpcast anymore.

Experiment: Power Badges are being hidden 🍿

Bro I tried to get the badge for 3 months and now that I have it, they are removing it 😭

But I don't mind it, let everybody get a fair chance, that's what I fought for 🤝🏻

The Cabal

powermonday

Yep! And if nothing else, the Power Badge created the friction (and so the incentive) for channels like /powerbadgecabal and /powermonday, which are strong communities in their own right, and did a good job educating and onboarding new users (even though it's not their responsibility).
