“Part-time” and “full-time” sound work-related, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people initially read them as applying only to earning to give.
Sorry, I realize I’m doing the annoying thing where someone criticizes a term and then doesn’t come up with a replacement. I honestly don’t have a good replacement.
(Trying to get creative: “flex EA”, “10% EA”, “decilife EA”, “adequate EA”, “regular EA”, “relaxed EA”, “lifestyle EA” (ambiguous?), “junior EA”? “EA-curious” for people who haven’t donated much time/money yet?)
I believe the category of membership in the EA movement should apply only to people who are fully value-aligned with the movement, meaning that they hold “doing the most good for the world” as a significant and notable value. The question of where they are on the spectrum of involvement in the EA movement would correlate to how high they perceive this value in comparison to other values they hold, as demonstrated by their behavior.

“Associate EA” / “Dedicated EA”?

I like “EA-curious.”
Agreed. Someone earning to give doesn’t meet the literal characterization of “full time” EA.
How about fully aligned and partially aligned (and any other modifier to “aligned” that might be descriptive)?
