I never thought of the possibility that someone could consider this as "slactivist."

It's free money for progressive/liberal causes for doing nothing more on your computer than what you already do, people. I would say it would be "slactivist" to not do it. There's no reason why people can't be both a serious activist and a couch activist. Plus it's the numbers that could make this a serious activity. If we all do it, just like voting, things start to add up in our favor.
