It feels like there are a range of different communities for EA, both on and offline. I’ve never really looked into philosophy and most of my conversations with people revolve around practical things to do and rarely does it go into existential risk/invertebrates and there is a lot more focus on system change/mental health in terms of more popular fringe ideas.
Also there are quite a few people who dip in and out of the community and will turn up once a year or just read the latest updates which seems good to me, everyone has different priorities and tasks taking up their time.
This isn’t really to persuade you, just to highlight to anyone reading that there doesn’t seem to be one type of community, and that you don’t have to be in or out, you can just use the tools provided for free.
