I really agree that lesswrong derives some of its richness from being a community where people do a few different things all in the same place—rationality training, curiosity-driven research, searching for novel altruistic interventions, AI research. Providing tools for people to self-segregate into niches will “work” in the sense that people will do it and probably say that they like it, but will probably lose some of that richness.
