Shmi comments on Why don’t long running conversations happen on LessWrong?

My wild guess is that, yes, “instant gratification” is important to engage people better. There was a recent discussion on how to do that, but it fizzled. A built-in chat window, a live comment scroll window, a temporary discord channel for select posts where the author commits to being around at announced times… there are many ways to engage the audience better.

Thanks for the data point. (Not sarcastic, I really do appreciate these sorts of data point comments.)

Oh the irony :)
