There’s two sides of discussing incentives, wrt. X:
Incentivize X/Make tools that make it easier for people to do X [1].
Get rid of incentives that push people to not do X[2] /Remove obstacles to people doing X.
Even if alignment can’t be created with incentives, it can be made easier. I’m also curious about how the current incentives on LW are a bad proxy right now.
[1] There’s a moderation log somewhere (whatever that’s for?), GW is great for formatting things like bulleted lists, and we can make Sequences if we want.
[2] For example, someone made a post about “drive by criticism” a while back. I saw this post, and others, as being about “How can we make participating (on LW) easier (for people it’s hard for right now)?”
