The list of plausibly worthwhile changes that would help to revitalize LessWrong is long:
redesigning LW’s appearance
cleaning up the codebase
forming a new moderation team
producing a bunch of new content
removing the main/discussion distinction
choosing one or more people to take full leadership of the project
(maybe) recentering the list of topics for discussion to include more about EA, tech or politics
(maybe) allow more links, rather than just posts
rebranding. x) getting many people join at once.
Effort might be superlinear here—once you commit to a few, you might just want to bite the bullet a build a new damned site.
That’s going to cost time and dollars—maybe hundreds of thousands, but if it’s what has to be done...
