On a serious note, I think the best implementation would be like a "trophy case"(like reddit) , where each instance can give any user an award for any reason that they can display in their user page. Doesn't get in the way of discussion, but gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment. (heh)
Unlike reddit, these award should be able to be turned off individually , since you don't want rogue instance admins to give you offensive "awards" for your user page.
You also shouldn't be able to see awards from defederated instances to prevent trolling.
I hadn't thought of this trophy case idea. I like it. I still don't want awards that are in any way desirable. Like, I don't know I was reading Calvin and Hobbes this morning maybe a "noodle incident" type award. If you have a memorable post like the not pooping dude maybe an admin or mod puts that in your trophy case? I don't completely wake up for another hour but I like this train of thought you've put me on
Edit: starting to wake up something about beans
