I did not appreciate until how unique Less Wrong is as a community blogging platform.
It’s long-form and high-effort with high discoverability of new users’ content. It preserves the best features of the old-school Internet forums.
Substack isn’t nearly as tailored for people who are sharing passing thoughts.
It sounds like you are saying LW encourages both high-effort content and sharing passing thoughts? Can you explain? Those things aren’t necessarily contradictory but by default I’d expect a tradeoff between them.
