There’s a related problem with CEA. Their mission is to nurture the EA community, and their sizeable community health team’s is to “preserve the EA community’s ability to grow and produce value”. But the CH team has focused on public relations, diversity, “discussion norms”, and crisis-response, while the community became unhealthy for a different reason—FTX. It seems like this team, or some other, needs to take on a wider mandate, that includes monitoring of such issues.
In hindsight they look a bit performative.
