Yes, it made me a bit more willing to post here. But I put another week of work into that post before publishing. And I worked 2 more days on that post that I posted a couple of days ago which is also from my blog. I’m sure that some other posts from that blog are worth publishing after I put more work into them but I’m unsure if this is what I should be spending my time on. E.g., I don’t want to post Cost-effectiveness of trap-neuter-return programs for cats on the EA forum without doing more to make sure it’s correct (e.g. reading recent related research by other EAs). I’m unsure if I want to post Should you donate to a fund-raising meta-charity? without looking into the current situation of these charities (e.g. if there is room for more funding) and just generally thinking more about the topic. I guess it would be fine to still post it with a disclaimer but I would be afraid of giving people the wrong advice and also hurting my credibility. And I don’t think posting it on the shortform would make much impact but I’d still care about saying the right things so I don’t want to bother with that.
