Andrew joins @mjraadi, @room_js, @iam_timsmith, @fullstack_to, @espoir, @helenanders26, @philnash, @florinpop17 and @lauragift21 in the club as the fourth winner of this badge.
The Big Thread Badge is awarded to the person who creates a discussion thread on the site that sparks the most collective comment love (e.g. score as determined by total ❤️ reactions and adjacent ranking factors).
This was Andrew's thread:
Entry is simple: Start a thread that is bound to spark a lot of comments. Ask the community to tell a certain kind of story and get lots of comments! Even if these threads aren't always answering the deep questions, they are often great for seeing what the broader community thinks of a topic and are usually a lot of fun!
Use the #discuss tag to signal that the post is a discussion thread.

DEV employees are not eligible for the Big Thread Badge. 🙂

The reason I focus on creating most of my content on DEV.to and will continue to do so is user engagement is high, the platform is open both socially and technically and they have amazing laptop decals.
Go Ben Go!
I really mean this as constructive feedback, but these "big thread posts" are getting annoying. Is there a way to specifically block these types of posts?
Edit
I would imagine there is some way to hide posts tagged with
#bigthreadbadge, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it in the settings.That emoji in italics is an interesting look.
