The question is rather vague, making it difficult to determine the direction of the desired change. It seems to suggest that longtermists and more engaged individuals are less likely to support large changes in the community in general. But both groups might, on average, agree that change should go in the ‘big tent’ direction.
Although there are statistically significant differences in responses to “I want the community to look very different” between those with mild vs. high engagement, their average responses are still quite similar (around 4.2/7 vs. 3.7/7). Finding statistically significant differences in beliefs between two groups doesn’t always imply that there are large or meaningful differences in the content of their actual beliefs. I feel I could also just be overlooking something here.
I’m not really sure if the data suggests this.
