Somehow I find my profile ranking in the 98th percentile, after only messing around here since December.

Probably a factor of the platform still being small. I suspect as time goes on we'll see the hockey stick curve flatten out a bit (at the moment, ranking in the 99th percentile requires a rank around 3000ish)

I climbed around 1300 places in rank, and went from the 98th to the 99th percentile in the last month (according to the Karma3Labs OpenRank API), and still can't manage to hold onto the Power Badge that I used to have 🙃 the mysteries of the algorithm.

I wouldn't normally care about these things, but I have a project I'm going to want to shill in the near future, so increased visibility would help.
