Interesting @mazmhussain's comments. He is talking about bots and spam, but I apply it also to farming, t4t, and all the free-riding airdrop strategies. So you can do it on big established platforms or the new, small, more fragile ones. In the first case, it is like "shoplifting from a global conglomerate that treats it as an accounting write-off", but in the second case it is like "shoplifting from a mom-and-pop store trying to get started and whose business and well-being you may genuinely aim to undermine". Farcaster/Degen is the second case. Regardless of all the defensive talk in defense of "fun" (?) and "decentralization" (?) I have no problem dedegening ppl who free-ride our small platform. Because - as Murtaza said - "there is just something particularly antisocial about it".
