I recently noticed how active the Facebook lesswrong group is. A lot of websites are becoming more and more dependent on social media. I would suggest having new discussion posts automatically get shared on Facebook and Twitter. This would increase the amount of traffic and grow the community. As is, the site is too dependent on the blogosphere I would say.
No, I don't want 5 different buttons on every article encouraging me to share this. Why the need to shove facetwittergram everywhere?
No reason to encourage that. Being owned by Zuckerberg is not a good thing.
What Lumifer said. If you want to drive away all the users firmly anti-FB, by all means integrate the two websites. There's enough connection to Facebook already, no reason to start packing up the internet and moving it there. Would it increase traffic? Yes, but probably not by the right criteria.
This would circumvent the whole system of voting on articles. Someone posts a stupid or trolling article, gets immediately downvoted on LW, but people on F and T will have a laugh because it will seem like a usual post.
