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.

would be helpful to have some kind of "distance on social graph" badge if power badge does go away.

Agree a hard coded list is hard to scale / get new users on. But no visual cue is also annoying, esp when I've noticed increasing # of spammy users in priority mentions lately.

agree. I don't like it. Needs something better to replace it or else don't remove IMO. But it could be bait to get the complainers to realize lol

Yeah I get that it has issues but I’m finding the change a bit bleh so far. 
Might get better after a day or two but right now it feels like I’m wading through mud. 

Having no badges might also make impersonation a lot easier 😅

word on the street is there's a special guest coming... tap to get a notif when we go live! @zinger @yb @brianjckim

there were a bunch on my LNC cast from last night... but I guess if you can hide them in the more replies section then who cares if they have storage or not

can you send me a few examples if you come across more spam?

Yes, it also helps to prevent phishing attacks.
