Also, I’m not in on all the internal politics of this community, but prima facie, quitting doesn’t seem to make sense.
Good things are good, even if they aren’t permanent. Lesswrong is good currently. The most intuitive-to-me way it would make sense to quit is if that’s somehow the way to keep the good thing going longer, or prevent it from becoming a bad thing, neither of which I see evidence for. Of course it would also make sense to quit if you’re burned out or for other emotional reasons, but from a practical standpoint, “this place is too centralized around me, should be more of a federated structure” is not a reason to quit, but to make changes so that it’s less centralized around you.
