Thank you to JanBrauner for raising this. I have had similar concerns.
However I don’t think stronger moderation is the answer, especially since it’s hard to moderate the comments, which is where most of the poor quality content arises.
Instead, it perhaps needs more concerted efforts from those who have thought about EA ideas more carefully to (nicely and constructively) help to improve the quality of the discussion.
This means participating in the EA facebook group more actively, rather than spending less time on it and just paying attention to the forum (which candidly, is what I’ve found myself doing)
