The EA forum is one of the key public hubs for EA discourse (alongside, in my opinion, facebook, twitter, reddit and a couple of blogs). I respect the forum team’s work in trying to build better infrastructure for its users.
The EA forum is active in attempting to improve experience for its users. This makes it easier for me to contribute with things like questions, short forms, sequences etc, etc.
I wouldn’t say this post provides deep truth, but it seeks to build infrastructure which matches the way EAs are. To me, that’s an analogy to articles which seek to describe how reality is. If we could only build a forum which suited how people wanted to interact, then we could do the work of EA faster.
I would like to see this article continued, with a focus on putting the most relevant additions at the top. I’ve suggested as much in the comments, moving to a sorting system which moves both new and upvoted comments to the top and allows for completed changes to be hidden.

Having an option to “resolve” a comment thread (analogous to “closing” a GitHub issue) would be very useful, especially for Wiki comments.
