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 🍿

Very interesting move and it makes total sense. Whoever misses a little something next to their display name, go ahead and add your favorite emoji hahahah.

But most of all, having people be valued for their actions and not actions + badge, which ends up in some ridiculous ideas that “if badge = superior human”. I like the move and look forward to the results of the experiment.
