I don’t understand what the rationale was for leaving MyGiving and moving things over to EffectiveAltruism.org. Almost all of the function has been lost if you have to just keep track of the donations on your own throughout the year. I didn’t expect that the transition would be completed all at once, but it’s been quite a while now. Why was this transition even undertaken if there wasn’t the capacity to rebuild the functionality of MyGiving on EffectiveAltruism.org? I’m embarrassed on behalf of EA that this is so bad. It makes us look like we’re not that serious about donations and our tech skills are lacking, both of which are nearly hypocritical for EA.
[Question] Why did MyGiving need to be replaced? And why is the EffectiveAltruism.org replacement so bad?
