Arguably, if there is something truly wrong with the list, I should have an issue with it.
This is non-obvious. It seems like you are extrapolating from yourself to everyone else. In my model, how much you would mind being on such a list is largely determent by how much social anxiety you generally feel. I would very much mind being on that list, even if I felt like it was justified.
I think this is fair, and additionally I maybe shouldn’t have used the word “truly”; it’s a very laden word. I do think that, on the balance of probabilities, my case does reduce the likelihood of something being foundationally wrong with it, though. (Note: I’ve said this in, what I think, is a LW friendly way. I’d say it differently on FI.)
One thing I do think, though, is that people’s social anxiety does not make things in general right or wrong, but can be decisive wrt thinking about a single action.
Another thing to point out is anonymous participation in FI is okay, it’s reasonably easy to use an anonymous/pseudonymous email to start with. curi’s blog/forum hybrid also allows for anonymous posting. FI is very pro-free-speech.
Knowing the existence of the list (again, even if it were justified) would also make me uneasy to talk to curi.
I think that’s okay, curi isn’t trying to attract everyone as an audience, and FI isn’t designed to be a forum which makes people feel comfortable, as such. It has different goals from e.g. LW or a philosophy subreddit.
I think we’d agree that norms at FI aren’t typical and aren’t for everyone. It’s a place where anyone can post, but that doesn’t mean that everyone should, sorta thing.
