  on: We don’t have ev­i­dence that the best char­i­ties are over 1000x more cost effec­tive than the average

  Since we’re on this topic, I recently saw that the Happier Lives Institute estimated that the best charities (based on WELLBYs per dollar) are about 100x more cost-effective than the average charity https://​​www.happierlivesinstitute.org/​​world-happiness-report/​​

  I have given a shallow recap of their medium-depth report, so take with a grain of salt.

  The “free mailing list for new events” aspect of following a city group (depending on your notification settings) could be pretty useful.

  I wonder if we could make posts in a city group and have that be emailed to group followers (depending on settings), basically as a mailing list? I don’t currently have something like a mailing list. Our group has an increasing number of platforms—a mailing list would be one more … signing up to the forum and following the group is a bit more work than signing up for than a mailing list but would save me one additional platform and potentially a monthly fee, etc.
