(first, noting that if the site content isn’t exciting, no worries. Thanks for at least checking it out and giving it another look – I appreciate it)
I’d add to Habryka’s comment that my longterm plan here is something like:
This year, we review the best posts of 2018. This turns into a fairly simple sequence that clusters relevant posts around each other, and helps people get a sense of the overall major conversation threads that happened in 2018. This sequence is meant to be “highly curated”, but not meant to be thought in the same terms as “The Sequences™”. Sequence is just a generic term meaning “a collection of posts.”
In the coming years, there’s an additional step where some older posts are considered for something more like canonization, where they are actually added to a Major Updates sequence that’s more in the genre of “The Sequences™”, i.e. that everyone participating on the site is supposed to have read. This process is something I’d want to put a lot of care into, and my expectation is something like there’d typically be 1-5 posts in any given year that I wanted to add to the site’s common-knowledge-pool, and that I’d want multiple years to reflect on it.
