The active badge is going away.

Spammy accounts are aggressively gaming the system to get the badge. 
Making the rules stricter just makes it harder for legitimate users.

We’re past the point where a simple rule based system will work. We need something better.

Power badges are rolling out now! 

You'll get a notification if you have the badge.

Will tweak — I expect this first version has a few rough edges

I don't want to come across as entitled or whiny, but I'm a little disappointed and surprised I didn't get the badge. Judging by the criteria in that article, it seems like I should definitely have it... unless some existing power user got mad at something I said and decided to report me for being "spammy". 🤷

It's honestly hard for me to believe that 'power users interactions' are factored in at all. All this does is further entrench people who heard about and joined farcaster earliest and allow them to become more and more segmented from the entire rest of the platform's users. Gate keeping upon gate keeping.

there's a fun dune dashboard here, too, which isn't official but has some interesting stats. https://dune.com/queries/3418402/5739663.

there's a weird line in there for 'deploys' & mine has 1,411 which seems high & odd?

something doesn't make sense for certain accounts. does this have to do with the "deploy" value? 

for example @reelaesthete seems to be shadowbanned and it is unapparent why
