Hey Harrison, sorry to hear that. Do you by chance happen to remember what the error was? Or any more information I can use to investigate what happened here?
I can’t remember all the details (it was about 10 days ago), but it was something like whenever I tried publishing a draft of the question, it gave me an error message saying something about “cannot read properties of undefined”, and did not give an indication that I had posted the message. I can’t remember what I did to stop getting that error message, but eventually I was able to post it without a problem, and so I cheerily went to the home page—only to panic when I saw my question had been posted ~5 times.
My sample size is only n=2, but I’ll note that my post and this post were both question posts rather than normal posts, so perhaps that is part of the issue? IDK
By the way, it looks like you asked a duplicate question Labeling cash transfers to solve charcoal-related problems? - EA Forum (effectivealtruism.org)
I also made this mistake a few days ago, as the site was telling me there was some kind of error when I tried posting.
