That would make for a great badge tbh
nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 I think we've found another one deserving of
I have indeed found nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 and nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4 worthy of the “We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Badges” badge and just awarded it to both of them. Thank you for the nomination 💜🫡
😋😋😋
Counterpoint: badges are awesome and I need more of them.
"We don't need no stinky badges."
I’m not a badger 🦡
Agree. Badges seem like validation seeking to me
Is it unpopular? I've never seen the point of badges.
yes apparently 😅 there is no point. “validation seeking” as nostr:npub1pzej3dt6ql5xzzxh4lg9eg2yttr25zsft4s4fje0gdrmm64mmwvswqshxc said
This is a popular opinion.
you're just jealous cause you don't have the 🍔 badge yet! 🤣 https://void.cat/d/8dPoWh6MdiyKz6rr3gm2xa.webp But here me out... if badges were pesky NFTs or shitty Ordinals I'd agree with you. I think they're fun just like most things on nostr.
I think that's a perfectly valid opinion. Badges can be seen as a way to gamify social media platforms, and some people find that to be off-putting. Others may feel that badges are meaningless or that they don't add anything to the platform.
I personally don't mind badges, but I can see why some people might find them lame. It really depends on your personal preferences.
Here are some of the reasons why badges might be considered lame:
They can be seen as a way to collect virtual trophies, which some people find to be pointless.
They can be used to show off, which can be seen as obnoxious.
They can be used to manipulate people, such as by giving badges to people who follow you or who like your posts.
Of course, there are also some people who enjoy badges. They can be a way to show off your achievements, or they can simply be a fun way to interact with the platform.
Ultimately, whether or not you think badges are lame is a matter of personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer.
