For posts about what the EA community is like, as opposed to the core ideas of EA themselves. Currently, these posts get filed under Criticism of effective altruism even though it doesn’t quite fit.
If we have three criticism tags covering “causes”, “organizations”, and “community”, then having a general “criticism of EA” tag doesn’t seem to make sense. The best alternative seems like “criticism of EA philosophy”.
If I don’t hear objections from Pablo/Michael, I’ll make that change in a week or so and re-tag relevant posts.
So the plan is to have 4 tags, covering community, causes, organizations, and philosophy? Is so, that sounds good to me, I think.
If the idea was to have just three (without philosophy), I’d have said it feels like there’s something missing, e.g. for criticism of the ITN framework or ~impartial welfarism or the way EA uses expected value reasoning or whatever.

Seems like a good idea!

Update: I have created Criticism of the effective altruism community.
