DAU is significantly closer to the number of Power Badge-holding accounts than the number reflected in the Dune dashboard

More interesting, perhaps, there is very little diversity wrt to the communities that exist here

This is what i suspected and we should all be figuring out a way to burn our Power Badges. 

I think It is the main cause of people leaving. 

advice to warpcast team: 

Part of being an adult is knowing when to throw away the towel on dumb ideas.

i agree with you completely. i think (and am hoping) if the turning off priority mode goes fine (by their standards at least lol), power badges will become irrelevant and disbanded in turn. i sure hope so bc i totally agree

And the thing that V and DWR need to understand: Im not saying this just to ruffle some feathers. This is really good information and insight into why WC isn’t growing and in fact i would guess is losing decent people. If i didn’t care i wouldn’t even mention it

couldnt agree more and have spent alot of time and energy making the same point myself.  hopefully we see a turning point here approaching abt it (some signs that might be the case imo), but also the prospect of a more vibrant multi-client future still does give me some hope about it increasingly. idk we will see and do our best but sheesh i hear ya the power badges were a MAJOR fuck-up, lets hope it can be overcome and never again....

i always said, Give ACTIVE HUMANS some badge, make us prove we are humans, THEN GIVE US A BADGE AND DONT FCKING TAKE IT AWAY. 

Whoever thought of “taking away is fine”, should be fired. Basic human nature 101: DONT FCKING TAKE AWAY TOYS OR MEDALS

Instead we get a granular focus on what they think is “quality content”, elitism and a system that makes people feel like they’re in a caste system: untouchables have no badge and hence they don’t feel even remotely respected

this causes humans to feel devalued which causes people not to want to log in

it’s the perception as much (or more) as it is the reality of how it all works. i agree. even just at the level of branding, “power badge” was a rly stupid idea- who tf thought it was a good idea to name it that? lmaooo

yes exactly!! and it had very clear parameters as to what was required. changing it to “power badges” in conjunction with a logic behind it that was like way more mysterious, really was a bad fucking look at that level - really dumb frankly. even back when twitter check marks were like a big deal and like only for like famous, elite users etc. they at least had the branding wherewithal to call it “verified” LOL instead of calling it like “elite badge” or some shit lmaoo

when i first joined it was called the Active badge and that was a good name imo
