It can make sense to call out borderline cases within your own community, because that gives you the greatest chance of making a difference.
I don't believe in the paradigm of "call out culture". Copying SJW tactics isn't a good idea. In most cases it's more effective to give feedback for improvement privately.
The idea that EY didn't get pushback is completely illusory. He got enough pushback that he now doesn't post on LW. During the last year where UFAI got more of public attention EY didn't seek the spotlight but rather left that role to FHI. To me that reflect an understanding that this decision was in the benefit of the cause.
I didn't mention anyone by name.
That still leaves my first paragraph. I don't believe that "calling out" is generally the best technique for making a difference.
