I trust your judgement on this, but I think the Community section might be more fitting. This post is mainly about whether FTX money that was supposedly being spent to support pandemic preparedness was instead going to candidates that would further enrich FTX. Plenty of people (myself included) have lowered the visibility of Community posts on their frontpage, but those who are interested in SBF’s corruption would probably want this on their frontpage. The real discussion here is about SBF’s potential dishonesty, not about any of the four topics outlined in the policy:
...the following types of post will remain in the “Personal Blog” category (meaning that they will not appear on the Forum’s homepage, but will appear in “All Posts,” in the author’s profile, and on any relevant tag pages):
Posts advocating for or against a specific political candidate or group of candidates (e.g. “Why effective altruists should vote for candidate Y”)
This policy also applies to posts which neutrally solicit opinions on a particular candidate, since those opinions are generally going to be advocacy for or against the candidate, which risks leading to the same issues.
Posts discussing policy issues with only tenuous connection to the main EA cause areas (e.g. “What John Smith’s position on gun rights means for EA voters”)
Some political content will continue to receive “Frontpage” categorization:
Posts discussing policy issues that are directly connected to core EA cause areas (e.g. this post on a campaign to boost Canadian development assistance)
I agreed with you at first, but upon reflection I think Lizka might be correct. While the majority of the post doesn’t seem to fall within the topics for demotion to Personal Blog, the section on Lobbying Strategy does seem pretty partisan. If you’re being strict with the rule (and the mods do have a decent legal reason to do so) then I think this ruling might make sense.
