powermonday

A few folks asked for an easy way to see badges. We chat about it weekly on Power Hour.

Collected some info and wrote my thoughts about the current state of Power Badges here, from the perspective of a trad soc avoider, with 6mths on FC.
(i may be an idiot for only figuring this out recently, but at least i figured it out 😬)
Appreciate any feedback or criticism!

thanks jina!

i'm curious @pichi where you heard the algo is changing in sept? hopefully that's true and makes my write-up irrelevant soon, but i haven't seen anything about that from my poking around. (only v's cast saying PBs removed from ui) maybe i missed something?

Now onto Warpcast Updates:
Feed Improvements

- thinking about how the construction of your feed changes as you add more/less users
- one thing observed: if you follow someone who cast a lot, that/those high volume users show up a bit too much in your feed, becomes self reinforcing
- rolling out experiment to boost content you're not always seeing, if successful will roll out to a broader group of users
- power badge deprecation: out of app and sunset at end of Aug. found it's not a great measure for priority notifications etc, have better systems in place for this(instead of identify by power badge, start with weeding spammy users out)
^ /neynar is continuing to run a power badge API that can be used
