This is a bit tangential/meta, but looking at the comment counter makes me want to express gratitude to the Community Health Team at CEA.
I think here we see a ‘practical demonstration’ of the counterfactuals of their work: - insane amount of attention sucked by this - the court of public opinions on fora seems basically strictly worse at all relevant dimensions like fairness, respect of privacy or compassion to people involved
As ‘something like this’ would be quite often the counterfactual to CH to trying to deal with stuff …it makes it clear how much value they are creating by dealing with these problems, even if their process is imperfect
While I agree that the discussion here is bad at all those metrics, I’m not sure how you infer that the CH team does better at e.g. fairness or compassion.
Based on public criticisms of their work and also reading some documents about a case where we were deciding whether to admit someone to some event (and they forwarded their communication with CH). It’s a limited evidence, but still some evidence.
