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.

Re: Power badge isn’t being used much in Warpcast anymore. The Power badge, as a social reputation layer, is actually widely used in the Farcaster ecosystem. https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x517da764

I also don't understand this statement. Apps like @buoy and @recaster-fc heavily rely on the power badge. What’s the point of having a decentralized protocol if every app in the ecosystem depends on a single client that dominates the protocol by implementing centralized features and can decide to shut them down whenever they want?

why cant there just be a way for the people that really, really want it -- and in all honesty after they've proved not to be a scammer -- to get it. i dont understand why the number of pbs given out have barely, if at all, changed. i do think pbs have some use cases (not advocating for them to be set at this level), but it is nice to have a little reassurance that the person we are talking to is who they say and that they are trustworthy -- its a vouch system. i get that nothing really says that, but it helps a little bit if you were put thru a few tests/obstacles to get there.
