I believe that sub-domains are the most important feature out of all those mentioned. We’ve seen how sucessful this has been on Reddit, while most of the other features mentioned are rather speculative.
If a trusted user can moderate their own blog, I would suggest making this highly visible so that people are aware that a different moderation policy applies.
“With multiple top authors telling me that they prefer not to publish on LessWrong because they expect the comments to be overly aggressive and needlessly critical”—I don’t know if moderation would actually solve this problem as I feel that most authors would be very reluctant to delete criticism because of the risk of getting backlash because of it.
Yeah, my current read is that we don’t have enough content for subreddits, which makes me expect that this is quite a while away, until we do have enough critical mass for multiple spaces.

We don’t have enough content on this site to separate it into several subdomains. Unless it would still be all in one place, in the spirit of r/all?
