I dislike the discussion/main section divide. I have to check two places for recent comments/posts. Plus, every time I want to make a post I have to decide which section to post it in, and that seems to be a not insignificant mental cost. Actually I can’t really tell which posts belong where, so I’ve ended up posting all of them in discussion “to be safe”.
(Also, people like me can break the implicit rules about what to post where for not-obviously-prosocial reasons, like me posting the thing about meta-ethics to Main for experimental reasons despite it being Discussion material.)

Does checking http://lesswrong.com/r/all/new solve the problem of checking two places?
Doesn’t the choice of top-level post vs open thread comment have the same problems?
