I can see value in having LW as a prototype or scratch pad, making simple modifications of existing discussion platforms (e.g. improved moderator powers as discussed above). Then Arbital can do the harder work of building a collaborative truth-seeking platform, adding in features to, for example, support Double Crux, fine-typed voting, or evidence (rather than comments).
Perhaps in the end there’s a symbiosis, where the LW is for discussion, and when a topic comes up that needs truth-seeking it’s moved to Arbital. That free’s Arbital from having to include a solved problem in it’s code base.
