I don’t think that a reboot/revival of LW necessarily has to consist entirely of the people who were in the community before. If we produce good stuff, we can attract new people. A totally new site with new branding might get rid of some of the negative baggage of the past, but is also less likely to get off the ground in the first place. Making use of what already exists is the conservative choice.
I hear you as saying that people here should focus on learning rather than leadership. I think both are valuable, but that there’s a lack of leadership online, and my intuition is to trust “forward momentum”, carrying something forward even if I do not think I am optimally qualified. He who hesitates is lost, etc.
