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.

If you're a developer that uses the Power Badge, please reply here with a link to your app if possible.

Looking for feedback, so would be good to know who is using it in their app.

Re: Power badge isn’t being used much in Warpcast anymore.

The Power badge, as a social reputation layer, is actually widely used in the Farcaster ecosystem.

I also don't understand this statement. Apps like @buoy and @recaster-fc heavily rely on the power badge. What’s the point of having a decentralized protocol if every app in the ecosystem depends on a single client that dominates the protocol by implementing centralized features and can decide to shut them down whenever they want?
