The discussion on other social media like Reddit and Twitter seems significantly more negative than the forum discussion. I’ve seen a few people write off Wytham Abbey criticism as coming from “haters”, but in my view the negative comments on the subreddit are mostly coming from people sympathetic to EA who thought EA was about very efficient, evidence-backed, reasonably transparent charity, and are shocked to find out that the “Center for Effective Altruism” doesn’t hold these as fundamental values.
