I haven’t yet fully read the article, since it turned out to be a bit longer than expected, but from the 10 minutes I’ve read so far, I am worried that it’s too culture-war flavored for the frontpage. I.e. I would have also moved Scott’s original post off the frontpage and onto his personal blog (and this is also the reason why Scott didn’t decide to crosspost it at all to LessWrong). Moving it off the frontpage for now, but happy to discuss in the comments, or wherever else is convenient.
Mm, the About page is down for a re-write in the coming months. For now I’ve changed it to this, which I think is more accurate and informative:
Our goal with the frontpage is to have a place where you can read the best content produced by the rationality community (subject to our moderation guidelines).

Seems like the about page should be corrected, then.
Why?
Seems like it should say some of the best content, given the additional constraints being applied—and should maybe indicate the constraints.
Huh, yeah, that seems like a good point, that sentence is way too broad. Thanks!
I imagine I was thinking about the Sequences / Codex when I wrote that, but still, that’s much too strong a claim.
Edited it to read “The frontpage is a place where you can read some of the best content produced by the rationality community.”
Constraints are linked to at the end of the post, three paragraphs below.
