Meta-note related to the question: asking this question here, now, means you’re answer will be filtered for people who stuck around with capital r Rationality and the current LessWrong denizens, not the historical ones who have left the community. But I think that most of the interesting answers you’d get are from people who aren’t here at all or rarely engage with the site due to the cultural changes over the last decade.
Yeah, I’ve been reading a lot of critiques by Benjamin Hoffman and thinking about some of the prior critiques by Jessica Taylor, and that’s sort of what prompted me to ask this question. It would probably also be interesting to look at others who left it, they’re just harder to get hold of.
