Yeah, I’m much more sympathetic to concerns with “effective altruist” than with “effective altruism”, and it doesn’t seem like GP does any better in that regard – all the solutions you could apply here (“I’m a member of the global priorities community”, “I’m interested in global priorities”) also apply to EA.
Maybe the fact that the short forms are so awkward for GP is part of the idea? Like, EA has this very attractive but somewhat problematic personalised form (“effective altruist”); GP’s personalised forms are all unattractive, so you avoid the problematic attractor?
But it still seems that, if personalised forms are a big part of the concern (which I think they are), this is a good argument in favour of keeping looking. Which was Jonas’s proposal anyway.
