LessWrong mod here, I think I actually don’t endorse people upvoting you so that you can crosspost.
While 10,000 EA Forum karma is probably worth 100 LW karma, I mostly don’t want to operate on exchange rates. The sites have different goals, different audiences, and not quite the same culture and norms, plus different size audiences, so EA Forum karma doesn’t necessarily (depending on what you were posting/commenting about) imply a user of the same karma.
Also, you can already make posts via the old method of “copy-paste” via the New Post on LessWrong. You lose some convenience features, but it’s not that big a deal. If your posts do well here, you’ll get the karma and have access to the feature.
Lastly, I do want to add that your recent EA Forum posts aren’t obviously content I (and other LW team mods, and likely much of the users are keen to have here), and won’t obviously get a good reception. To the extent your posts are about the EA community, it does seem that the EA Forum is the right place for that, and while our communities have overlap, I don’t think LW should be become an auxiliary place for EA movement discussion.
Hey Ruby, thanks for taking the time to provide this useful and detailed feedback. It makes sense to me—I’ll copy and paste to crosspost when relevant but I’ll be fairly conservative about when I do so.
