I list “social media manager” for Effective Altruism on LinkedIn—but I highlight that it’s a voluntary role, not a job. I have done this for over 10 years, maintaining the “effective altruism” page amongst others, as well as other volunteering for EA.
Ya know what? That strikes me as 100% legitimate. I had approached it from the perspective of “there isn’t an organization called Effective Altruism, so anyone claiming to work for it is somehow stretching/obfuscating the truth,” but I think I was wrong. While I have seen people use an organization’s name on LinkedIn without being associated with the organization, your example of maintaining a resource for the EA community seems permissible, especially since you note that it is volunteering.
