Yeah the tone makes sense for a personal blog (and in general the piece makes more sense for an audience who can mostly be expected to know Katja already).
I think it could have signalled more not-being-a-puff-piece by making the frame less centrally about Katja and more about the virtues you wanted to draw attention to. It’s something like: those, rather than the person, are the proper object-of-consideration for these large internet audiences. Then you could also mention that the source of inspiration was the person.
Yeah that seems right. Not sure what options one can click on crossposting to point that out. (I think the forum has a personal blog option, but I’m not sure that’s so appropriate on LessWrong)
How could it have better signalled it wasn’t a puff piece?
It sort of is a bit of a puff piece. I tried to talk about some negatives but I don’t know that it’s particularly even handed.
I tend to get quite a lot of downvotes in general, so some is probably that.
Beyond that, the title is quite provocative—I just used the title on my blog, but I guess I could have chosen something more neutral

Your post is tagged personal blog on LessWrong, idk if you tagged it that way explicitly or if it was done by mods.
For cross-posts to the EA forum, I think you might have an option in the … menu at the top, or you can ask mods to move it to personal blog
Okay, this should be a personal blog then I think
