I think including something like the 3rd “nice” cluster is important because it gives a way for people to post things on LW that maybe they don’t want to receive critical feedback on, regardless of how it is delivered. These things are rare now, but things I can think of where the “nice” norm might be appropriate:
the short-form feeds
art
posts that people would otherwise be afraid to make because they personally lack the self-esteem to handle people being critical of the content but nonetheless would like to share (think stuff people hide in friends-only Facebook posts or secret Tumblers)
