I believe that a network independent bloggers [0] who are not tied to a single forum centered on discussing E.Y.’s writing would be an improvement: Intellectually more versatile and thus healthy; can avoid echo-chamber effects. I wasn’t active on LW at the time pf peak activity, but I’ve understood that one of the objectives of LW was that “rationality” (whatever is meant by the word) would spread outside a single corner of the internet.
However, the problem is finding all those interesting, rationality-adjacent bloggers: if there’s no any central place where you can find those people and their contributions, it’s not a network: it’s just random unfindable people.
[0] Or FB / etc writers, but I have preference for public, open web.

The LW List of Blogs might be a good place to start. Zvi also has a nice post where he mentions his blogroll / invites others to post.
