Note: Long-time power user of this forum, @NunoSempere, has just rebooted the r/forecasting subreddit. How that goes could give some info re. the question of “to what extent can a subreddit host the kind of intellectual discussion we aim for?”
(I’m not aware of any subreddits that meet our bar for discussion, right now—and I’m therefore skeptical that this forum should move to Reddit—but that might just be because most subreddit moderators aren’t aiming for the same things as this forum’s moderators. r/forecasting is an interesting experiment because I see Nuño as similar to this forum’s mods in terms of aims and competence.[1])
