Is the game something like “EA online discussion norms” and the strategy that you are proposing something like “make your writings independent of the EA forum, and allow for competing discussion spaces on your posts”?

Mmh, probably, but I was thinking about it less abstractly, e.g., CEA is offering the EA community a forum with such and such characteristics, the EA community responds by xyz, etc.

FWIW I think it would likely be hard for most people (especially those without a strong internet presence or who don’t write regularly) to have a rich comments section on other platforms, but I could be underestimating the difficulty of getting blog readers.
Yep. At the same time, it becomes easier over the course of a career. And the easier option is to post something on substack and crosspost it to the forum, which gets a bunch of the benefits.

Yes, but not “competing”, such that either option is ok, but “separate”, such that the EA forum doesn’t have to have a role to play. For example, this blogpost of mine: https://nunosempere.com/blog/2023/07/19/better-harder-faster-stronger/ has a rich comment section, and it didn’t need the EA forum to have it.
