I don’t want everyone and their grandmother to join, but I would like to see a lot more of the rationalist facebook content on LessWrong. Basically low-medium effort posts that abide by the spirit of truth-seeking norms. If I’m sharing memes I’ll do it somewhere else, but if I’m brainstorming about a nuclear winter hypothesis it would be cool to do it here.
One thing that felt a bit sad to me was that the schelling place (in my circles) to have smart conversations about covid-19 was a FB group. It seems like an achievable goal (but perhaps requires a few more features than we can easily develop quickly) for LW to be the best place on the internet to consolidated good discussion on that.
(we have a tag feature that isn’t quite ready for LW primetime, but has been partially rolled out to admins. You can actually check out a 2019-nCov tag page here. It’s still somewhat janky but I think could be workable without too much extra dev effort)
