Hi everyone, I’m Kirsten. I’ve been posting more on the EA Forum recently, and I thought I’d start crossposting relevant posts here. Today I was going to crosspost a piece about social status regulation and how it can mirror the counterintuitive way corporations sometimes behave. But it turns out having 10,000 karma on the EA Forum and 0 here means I can’t crosspost here (whoops).
If y’all trust my track record and intentions, upvoting me to 100 karma and/or a mod allowing me to crosspost occasionally would be appreciated!
LessWrong mod here, I think I actually don’t endorse people upvoting you so that you can crosspost.
While 10,000 EA Forum karma is probably worth 100 LW karma, I mostly don’t want to operate on exchange rates. The sites have different goals, different audiences, and not quite the same culture and norms, plus different size audiences, so EA Forum karma doesn’t necessarily (depending on what you were posting/commenting about) imply a user of the same karma.
Also, you can already make posts via the old method of “copy-paste” via the New Post on LessWrong. You lose some convenience features, but it’s not that big a deal. If your posts do well here, you’ll get the karma and have access to the feature.
Lastly, I do want to add that your recent EA Forum posts aren’t obviously content I (and other LW team mods, and likely much of the users are keen to have here), and won’t obviously get a good reception. To the extent your posts are about the EA community, it does seem that the EA Forum is the right place for that, and while our communities have overlap, I don’t think LW should be become an auxiliary place for EA movement discussion.
Hey Ruby, thanks for taking the time to provide this useful and detailed feedback. It makes sense to me—I’ll copy and paste to crosspost when relevant but I’ll be fairly conservative about when I do so.
I am not part of EA Forum, so have no opinion on whether it’s similar enough to share karma, or allow crossposting with lower thresholds or something. I get the sense that there’s a LOT of stuff that probably shouldn’t be crossposted, or should be posted on LW and linked back to EAF.
I’d kind of like to see a post about status regulation and corporate behavior modeling. I’d say to post it here, AND at the EAF if it’s relevant there (but I’m not sure it is—my model is that LW is for world-modeling in general and discussions about rationality and overall behavior, and EAF is for impact analysis of some dimensions of activity, and (in my sour moods) self-aggrandizing political weirdness.
