I’d like to see more lists curated by the forum team, similar to those on the best of page, and on a wider variety of topics and subtopics. I didn’t like going off of karma in 2025 and would have preferred more individuals with some kind of track records, with identity and some amount of reputation pegged to a set of posts (which I understand might be unexpectedly costly). I also found the newsletter emails pretty helpful for this, and there might be ways to get forum events from this but I’m less confident about that.
Maybe we could encourage people to make more sequences, and make them easier to share? I do think there’s a general issue where evergreen content on the Forum can be hard to surface—perhaps something along these lines could help.
Edit:
I was writing the comment when I was a little frustrated, and I think my post was not very logical. I still think that there is too much authority bias, but I think a feature like curation can potentially help with that, if implemented properly.
Personally, I’m against curating and track records. I asked Gemini to generate a report on “Is there too much authority bias in the world?” (some authority bias is rational, but the question is it too much) with a neutral prompt and the result which was based on empirical evidence was there is too much authority bias. I would like to see more posts from people who don’t get a lot of attention.
I know from experience that when I want to communicate something to people, it’s very hard to do that because people seem to have short attention span when you don’t have credibility and it’s very hard to strike a balance between conciseness and clarity in the post, when people are not willing to give a lot of attention.
