I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but something must be wrong if even Eliezer seems reluctant to post here anymore (preferring Facebook of all things instead).
You know, I’d previously assumed it was just him being busy, but now I wonder about those Facebook posts. I assume he doesn’t put near as much energy into them as Yvain puts into Slate Star Codex, but still.
It looks fairly obvious that they’re much more stream-of-consciousness than his LW content. The difference between RobbBB’s recent writeup and the related comment thread on the OPFAI facebook group is marked. I’d take his statement that he finds it an extremely easy medium to get content written in (compared to LW, or essentially any formal writing) at face value.
It seems that the posts on the main blog have become so infrequent that it almost seems as if the site is stagnant, which is definitely not the case. I think having more posts on the main blog would be great for the public-relations side of things.

Most of Eliezer’s mini facebook posts are pretty low quality compared to what he used to put on main
