I very much agree with your second point. I think it would be especially useful to encourage EAs to announce recent donations they have made, so we can celebrate those donations, evoke warm fuzzies, and maybe even get some subtly competitive giving going.
That would be great, but I feel as if a thread isn’t the best venue for it—it would get samey, and people would feel inhibited by the bragginess of it.
Where do you think would be a good place? The points you brought up are concerning, but I think it works decently on LW (although the samey-ness potential is higher here...) and I’m not sure where a better place for it would be.
For threads like that it might also be helpful to have “sort by new” as the default option. Right now I don’t believe there is an option to change default sorting on a per-thread basis.

I don’t have any good suggestions in particular, so maybe donation-announcement threads would work. Can you think of any possible alternatives?
People are creative, they’ll find new, non-same things to brag about. Trust them.
