Mod note: This was a post I was on the fence about approving as a first post. I think it some sense the post is “fine”, but I didn’t expect it to fair well on LessWrong (mostly for not asking or answering questions that the LessWrong community finds particularly interesting, in a way that the LessWrong community thinks are likely to be helpful).
I don’t currently have a good cached idea on how to handle posts in that reference class. (Especially given that I don’t have to really read post in much detail)
Interested in takes from both LW users, (and the author Jacob Peterson for what they think they would have preferred)
Apologies to Jacob Peterson for the awkwardness of using your post as an example.

I guess approving it and letting it sink by karma was the right move.
It feels like there is some substance that would be interesting if written in different words, but it is too vague to be useful.
Thank you for approving the post!
I’ve enjoyed what I read from the community here, but I do understand how my post isn’t what they’re looking for.
