I think a lot of what I write for rationalist meetups would apply straightforwardly to EA meetups.
agreed. this sort of thing feels completely missing from the EA Groups Resources Centre, and i’d guess it would be a big/important contribution.
This may be a silly question, but- how does cross posting usually work?
iirc, when you’re publishing a post on {LessWrong, the EA forum}, one of the many settings at the bottom is “Cross-Post to {the EA forum, LessWrong},” or something along those lines. there’s some karma requirement for both the EA forum and for LW — if you don’t meet the karma requirement for one, you might need to manually cross-post until you have enough karma.
are there norms on EA forum around say, pseudonyms and real names, or being a certain amount aligned with EA?
re: pseudonyms: though there’s a general, mild preference for post authors to use their real names, using a pseudonym is perfectly fine — and many do (example).
re: alignment: you don’t need to be fully on-board with EA to post on the forum (and manyaren’t), but the content of your post should at least relate to EA.

for other questions regarding the norms on the EA forum, here’s a guide to the norms on the EA forum. (on that guide, they have a section on “rules for pseudonymous and multiple accounts” and “privacy and pseudonymity.”)
*i’ll edit & delete this part later, but: i’ll get back to you over email in a bit! caught up with other stuff, and getting to things one at a time :)
