I appreciate the thought, but personally really don’t see this as a mistake on ConcernedEAs.
I actually pushed that post a few days back so that it wouldn’t conflict with Owen’s, trying to catch some narrow window when there aren’t any new scandals. (I’m trying not to overlap closely with scandals, mainly so it doesn’t seem like I’m directly addressing any scandal, and to not seem disrespectful).
I think if we all tried timing posts to be after both scandals and related posts, then we’d develop a long backlog of posts that would be annoying to manage.
I’m happy promoting norms where it’s totally fine to post things sooner than later.
It’s a bit frustrating that the Community frontpage section just shows 3 items, but that’s not any of our faults. (And I get why the EA Forum team did this)
Hah, fair point. I guess I just am hoping to drive more discussion about this type of thing on the forum and it is definitely frustrating to see how broken up conversations are.
I am also pushing to promote things quicker and not get delayed in drafting forever. I did that for a while and basically never posted anything—I wish more people would be willing to post things on the community side that aren’t extremely high quality and polished.
Just a note, but if you’re trying to facilitate object-level discussion it might be better not to drop this right as Ozzie dropped a very similar post? https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/hAHNtAYLidmSJK7bs/who-is-uncomfortable-critiquing-who-around-ea
