I’ve unofficially polled readers about upvotes for comments and there’s been what looks like a strong consensus against it on some of the grounds Benjamin brings up. I’m willing to listen to other proposals for changing the comments, although if it’s not do-able via an easy WordPress plugin someone else will have to do it for me.
I’m fine with anyone who wants reposting things for comments on LW, except for posts where I specifically say otherwise or tag them with “things i will regret writing”
In this thread some have also argued for not posting the most hot-button political writings.
Would anyone be up for doing this? Ataxerxes started with “Extremism in Thought Experiments is No Vice”
There’s discussion of this on the LW Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/144017955332/permalink/10155300261480333/
It includes this comment from Scott:
