Besides, if you want to encourage engagement with FT, then the "achievements" should be relevant to engagement with FT, not a one-time fire and forget honor system badge set for external accomplishments.
You're not alienated! The site functions the EXACT SAME WAY it did on Monday. All the content is still there. The UI is the same.

As for your second point, I agree and we're working with the team that developed the badge product to create more badges that can be tied to site accomplishments universally. The original product had a lot of badges for donations, military service, etc. A big hurdle is that FT doesn't use the supported Likes system (the one we tried in 2021, if you remember that).
