We should use quick posts a lot more. And anyone doing the more typical long posts should ALWAYS do the TLDRS I see many doing. It will help not scare people off.
Im new to these forums, joined about a month ago coming in from first hearing Will M on Sam Harris a few times, reading doing good better, listening to lots of 80k hours pods and doing the trial giving what we can pledge, joining EA everywhere slack etc. But I find the vast majority of these forum posts extremely unapproachable. I consider myself a pretty smart guy and I’m pretty into reading books and listening to pods, but I’m still quite put off by the constant wall of words I get delivered by the forum digest (a feature I love!) I have enjoyed a few posts I’ve found and skimmed. It’s just that the main content is usually way too much.

Completely agree nice one—and I even forgot to do a TLDR on my last post! (although it was a 2 minute read and a pretty easy one I think haha).
Great to have you around :)
Thanks Nick!
