The desirism FAQ needs updating, and is not a very clear presentation of the theory, I think.
One problem is that much of the theory is really just a linguistic proposal. That's true for all moral theories, but it can be difficult to separate the linguistic from the factual claims. I think Alonzo Fyfe and I are doing a better job of that in our podcast. The latest episode is The Claims of Desirism, Part 1.
I will listen to that.
Unfortunately, we're not making moral claims yet. In meta-ethics, there is just too much groundwork to lay down first. Kinda like how Eliezer took like like 200 posts to build up to talking about meta-ethics.
