The new badge system

DeviantArt has replaced fragments with gems. I offer some thoughts on what has changed. First of all, users' fragments have been removed and we are supposed to received special one-time badges for the fragments we had remaining as of last night, August 31, 2024. According to https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/changes-to-fragments-and-new-badge-system the one-time badges should be awarded some time between now and September 30. According to https://www.deviantartsupport.com/kb/en/article/what-are-badges-and-gems gems will be given out as follows: Non-Core deviants receive 40 gems per week. Core Members receive 50 gems per week. Core+ Members receive 350 gems per week. Core Pro Members receive 550 gems per week. Core Pro+ Members receive 650 gems per week. Non-Core members did not receive fragments automatically before today. Core+, Core Pro and Core Pro+ members will receive gems at a higher rate than they received fragments.
