distinctions can be very motivating for the people who receive them. difficulties arise when there are other people who do not get such an award, but think they have contributed equally or more. if you seek to prevent this by giving out more awards, the meaning of individual awards will be watered down.
For example Earlybird Registrant: those who miss the cutoff date by just a little bit might feel bad.

@kaia Earlybird is easy to sort out: those who were around before the migration to Pleroma. That’s a very clear cutoff date.
I may be wrong, but I think @Moon’s idea for these badges is to make them automatable (that is, not subjective or dependent on popularity). That would disqualify the Pillar of the Community award, even though sim definitely deserves it.
On the other hand, there could be some kind of annual event (online or offline) where the community could give those kinds of badges away.
@josemanuel @kaia no they would be issued by a site admin for the site
@josemanuel @kaia they can be for anything
imma dip 
@josemanuel @kaia @Moon I appreciate hearing you say that I deserve the award so thank you for that. It means a lot hearing people say that alone.
