Degen

1/ Hello @jacek @wake.eth @purp.

I am one of the reported leaders of the group in question. 
Since this article is likely to be long, I will keep the introduction short and go straight to the main topic. 

Before writing, let me ask you something.
What is the definition of Farming? 
What is the definition of abuse?

3/However, we did not receive any benefits from Degen, and as we became friends on WarpCast, the number of people we interacted with increased, so we created a Telegram group. In line with the "interaction" that Degen pursues, the number of people happily exchanging Degen with each other on Farcast gradually increased

4/ As with everyone, it was natural to want to give something to someone close to you.

Numerous projects have been airdropping “in return for rewards.” Accordingly, we focused on promoting Degen widely, encouraging participation in the ecosystem, and building mutual exchange and friendship, which is the most desired purpose of SNS.

5/ I felt that it had contributed to the development of the Degen ecosystem, and I did not think that this was abuse. We didn't use any bots, we didn't use multiple accounts, it was purely person-to-person interaction.

in return for rewards => reward for effort

6/ Additionally, the Degen team did not mention anything about the reason for the ban for this action. You can see this hastily added to the FAQ, but it wasn't there before. This can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240409030055/https://www.degen.tips/faq.

7/ In this situation, I think banning and adding the content to the FAQ without any warning is an unconvincing and dictatorial act. We can accept it if we break the rules even though we have given enough notice in advance, but we cannot accept adding rules after the ban.

8/ We respectfully request that the ban be lifted, and since rules have been added, we will no longer engage in group activities like this in the future.

2/ Some projects encourage point farming. Some projects also provide referrer bonuses to attract more people to the ecosystem and sometimes provide benefits to community group leaders.

I agree with you
Degen brought a lot of people called warpcast from web2 to web3. But now I don't understand what they're doing. Do you think Degen has already grown enough, and if they judge that it's a bad way, do you think it's okay to ignore all the ways, efforts, and times that contributed to growth?
