Sorry, kinda off topic stupid SN noob question:
What the hell is this cowboy hat thing?! I get annoying notifications about it every other day and have no clue what it is. I even tried to turn it off but am still getting the notifications.
do you see a cowboy hat emoji on the top right?
reply
hmm no? I see my sats on the top right.

if you gain a cowboy hat, you will see it next to your sats (between your sats and username, top right)
if you click to a user's profile/bio page, you can see their cowboy hat if they earned one
I see that you have a cowboy hat for being new
reply
OK but I still don't understand what the point of the cowboy hat is?
Also, I don't see it next to my sats at the monent, not sure why you see it.
