Sorry, I’m confused about what the benefit would be. At a large enough scale it’d be almost guaranteed to leak, so what would be the advantage of this ?
Consider Google internal communications (I used to work there). Google has ~100k fulltimers, far more than the total number of EA fulltime professionals. And internal communications can leak (eg the Damore memo). But only a small fraction of these internal messages actually get leaked; and the feeling of posting there is much less “posting on Twitter”and more “posting in private group chat”.
Being able to cold-message almost anyone in the company, and have the expectation that they will see your message and respond, also leads to norm of shared trust in the communication actually happening instead of getting ghosted.
+1. I think a small fraction would be expected to leak. Maybe some juicy bits, if it’s made highly visible within these channels.
Right now we have a bunch of small Slacks around and a whole bunch of Google Docs floating around. There have been a few leaks here and there, but it seems fairly minor to me, especially compared to the benefits of these mediums.
