Could I get a couple of upvotes so that I could post links? I’d like to put some of the LW-relevant content from weird.solar here now that link posts are a thing.
Upvoted, but I have to say I dislike link posts in discussion. The vast majority are wrong for LW—either oversimple or just repeating what’s already in the wiki or sequences. Some are on-topic and well-written, but even then the community interaction is broken when there are comments both on the hosting site and LW.
If you have something LW-appropriate to say, make a post and include the link.
note: since links are now a thing, I’m likely in the minority.
Yeah, I think the links thing is pretty important. Getting bloggers in the rationalist diaspora to move back to blogging on LW is something of an uphill battle, whereas them or others linking to their stuff is a downhill one.

I have upvoted you. Make us proud.
