negativity towards "airdrop farmers" is misplaced and biased.

hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people all over the world have decided that doing microwork for protocols is their best path to economic prosperity. that is incredible and should be celebrated. 

it's on us to enable them to contribute positively.

in the spirit of respectful debate:

most of our FC followers are airdrop/free mint farmers so they'd agree, not disagree, with this :)

agree we need to design for positive contributions BUT its more nuanced than that

imo clicking a button =/= microwork, volatile token requiring 24/7 tracking =/= economic prosperity

Airdrop farmers remind me a bit of slacktivism tbh

I don’t see it as real activism to share Instagram/X/tiktoks about controversial topics and think that’s going to change anything in the echo chamber you’re in on social media 

Same way I don’t see it as “microwork” to airdrop farm

Without any evidence (or a strong opinion), I’d think that posting or amplifying social media posts actually has a much larger impact on our collective hive mind than traditional activism like lawn posting etc. the fact it is as easy as a click of a button may make it more effective in fact.
