The LessWrong brand is not optimized for reaching a broad public. To the extend that's the goal "effective altruism" is a more effective label under which to operate.

In my view the goal of LessWrong is to provide a forum for debating complex intellectual ideas. Specifically ideas about how to improve human thinking and the FAI problem. Having a good signal-to-noise ratio matters for that purpose.
