As a counter example I think the EA community health team does better than I would expect. A huge global community and they are relatively trusted and the community takes responsibility for itself. Like I don’t know that I’d say it does well but I think I’d be hard pressed to find an analogous community that has a better such function.
Feels like they have a better batting average than rationalists in dealing with issues like this (I guess at least partly cos events are more central to EA than rationalism). Many other communities seem to have no responsibility at all—many political groups seem rife with issues but noone taking responsibility over them.
I agree overall that this is a really hard problem, though I suppose I am more optimistic than OP.
