I’ve seen the subreddit a few times but don’t have any sort of mental image of what the users are like. And it’s likely going to stay that way unless they write reasonably interesting things and put them on LW.
Sure, if it’s interesting and doesn’t lead to a flood of low quality comments from Sneerers. This seems unlikely however. I predict now that this will not happen, and precommit to update towards your position if it does. Of course there’s potentially some ambiguity over whether it counts as interesting if they post some screed, but hopefully it will be fairly clear whether they contribute something worthwhile or not.

Suppose they write an interesting critique of lesswrong and post it on lesswrong. Would you welcome that?
