And what are/were the problems with RationalWiki?
If you ask that question here, you will get an answer that assumes that rationality is being done entirely correctly here, and is therefore being done wrongly at rationalwiki, inasmuch as rationalwiki does anything differently. Of course, rationalwiki has its own objections to lesswrong and Yudkowksy
It may be possible to settle the issue , but first people would need to get out of the mindset that says “my tribe is right because it’s my tribe”.
Thanks for the answer. Although I’ve went to quickly read the 2 post you linked and… they are informative and I do agree with some of the critiques but they are far from objective. Although I don’t like the tone and style, they would be alright for a personal blog, but not for a wiki and much less for a rational wiki. It felt really weird and very untrustworthy.

It is. Rationality is their flag, not their method.
