The CCP once ran a campaign asking for criticism and then purged everyone who engaged.
I’d be super wary of participating in threads such as this one. A year ago I participated in a similar thread and got the rate limit ban hit.
If you talk about the very valid criticisms of LessWrong (which you can only find off LessWrong) then expect to be rate limited.
If you talk about some of the nutty things the creator of this site has said that may as well be “AI will use Avada Kadava” then expect to be rate limited.
I find it really sad honestly. The group think here is restrictive and bound up by verbose arguments that start with claims that someone hasn’t read the site. Or that there are subjects that are settled and must not be discussed.
Rate limiting works to push away anyone even slightly outside the narrow view.
I think the creator of this site is like a bad L. Ron Hubbard quite frankly except they never succeeded with their sci-fi and so turned to being a doomed prophet.
But hey, don’t talk about the weird stuff he has said. Don’t talk about the magic assumption that AI will suddenly be able to crack all encryption instantly.
I stopped participating because of the rate limit. I don’t think a read of my comments show that I was participating in bad faith or ignorance.
I just don’t fully agree...
Forums that do this just die eventually. This place will because no new advances can be made so long as there exists a body of so-called knowledge that you’re required to agree with to even start participating.
Better conversations are happening elsewhere and have been for a while now.
Thank you for telling me about the rate limit a year ago. I thought I was the only one. Were you given any kind of feedback from the moderators for the reason you were punished such or an advance warning to give you the opportunity to change anything?

Do you have an example for where better conversations are happening?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Flowers_Campaign is the source. Re-education camps to execution were the punishment.
