This is one major advantage of having separate sub-reddits instead of merely seperate tags. It allows each area of discussion to develop its own norms and rules of discussion and is a large part of why Reddit is so vibrant.
Probably the easiest place for many of these groups to develop would be online because it’ll be hard to get the numbers elsewhere, but we need the technical infrastructure to make that easy. I mean, I could try creating a group on another site, but people are so much more likely to join when it is right here on Less Wrong.
I roughly agree, but if much more conversation continues along this line I think would be best to move it to the meta section. (I have some additional thoughts but am holding off for now)
