Allows community context and trust on specific issues which reduce energy in communications
Move in the direction of the Forum trying to outcompete slack/google docs, which I think is good
If handled well, probably a net improvemnt
Cons
Chance of groups leaving EA upset increases if we might not see their upset because it’s in a subforum
Seems to mask rather than solve problems around curation. People dont’ know the kind of things they might gain value from, I suggest. This is why I prefer twitter, where you can stumble across new subcultures, than reddit where you always have to start by finding the subreddit or content going hugely viral. I would like content to be able to bleed across subforums.
There should be a public place that makes more sense for these comments than a random reply
