Worse. It's opt-in reverse surveillance, with effort required on your side. So it really demonstrates how stupid you are to accept them.

This is a valid concern
The dark side of the badges is concerning. Make sure to think everything through — Nostr rarely forgives mistakes #[0]
Can always create more nyms for badge reasons, if someone really wants badges… seems silly still
Ok so no sammie badges

Yeah. Not a good idea 🙃
Nice hairdo though. You could make a badge put of that and award it to thee top three nostrils. I bet they'd be delighted 😂
So little text, so many typos 😩
When edit nostr? 😂
Nevvah gonna happen. Impossibru conceptionally
They’re just a novelty. Harmless, kinda fun, free so no weird shitcoinery. I’m already seeing some developers say they are implementing them into clients, so I’m not so sure they will go away. Personally, I would be honored to have a sammie badge. 🥺
