my prevailing theory is that i lost my badge because i interact with too many bots.

building bots is kinda my thing rn…so perhaps we need to distinguish between interesting and non-interesting bots?

i propose: the Bot Badge™

you shouldn’t be penalized for interacting with badged bots.

discuss.

internet native, programmer, founder of [redacted]; creator of @degentipbot.eth; producer/dj & host of /campfire 🎧 and /downshift ⚙️

And/or something similar to a journalist’s press pass. Like, a bot interaction pass that could be applied for.

i mean…they did applications for farcon. why not power badges? (for now)

in a reductive sense, an application process is really just a complicated captcha…
