If I understand it correctly, you have a professional blog where you self-censor for professional reasons. This would be your second blog. What is the chance that you would really want to write something that would fit in neither of these blogs? I mean, not just something personal and silly (that would be accepted here, assuming it is not the only kind of content you would ever produce), but something actively against the LW norms, such as strongly political content, or your thoughts about how Jesus is the actual truth and the way.
(Alternatively, is there an audience that hates LW, and you would want to write something for them?)
What I am asking is, whether it is likely that tomorrow you will need a third blog. If the chance is negligible, go ahead, start blogging here, and see what happens. Worst case, you can start your own blog later and move your LW articles there. The advantage is that you can start blogging immediately with no extra work.
However, if the chance of needing the third blog is high, then you might instead start a new independent blog, and crosspost some of its articles to LW. (There is some method to import articles from other blogs automatically, though I am not familiar with technical details.) Actually, you might crosspost selected articles from both your blogs.
But you can also start blogging here… and if a need for a third blog arises later, then start it later.
By the way, it is not just about articles, but also about comments and moderation. Are you okay with your readers having to create an LW account if they want to comment on your articles? Are you okay with the LW audience voting on your commenters? Some people feel uncomfortable writing on LW; this might prevent them from replying to your articles.
