For what it’s worth, I had a super negative reaction to being sent away to a different page to read the rest. I didn’t want to downvote the post into the negative, but I did feel a sense of betrayal.
Also curious why you are hesitant to post the whole thing on LW, and whether that might point to a problem in our site design.
I’m not Elo, but, as a content creator, there’s really no replacement for owning my own content publishing platform (rather than being tied to someone else’s). I can edit post formatting as I see fit, change old posts, create arbitrary complicated/interactive link structures, and add signup forms, things I’m selling, or other forms of reputation and sales monetization. I also never have to worry about a platform suddenly locking me out or deleting old posts, or otherwise doing things in their interest and not mine.
Yeah, all of these are things that I think are reasonable motivations (and I am fine with link posts, just not in the way they were done here, which felt sudden and abrupt to me). I am curious whether any of those apply to Elo, since we have the ability to mitigate most of them.
