When I'm honest with myself about the three aspects of April 2016 LW that interest me most, the list that emerges is this (in no particular order):

  • Eugine Noir's Sock Puppet Army and the 'Stop Eugine' movement made up of mods and laypeople that fights against it.
  • Gleb and his international team of Meat Puppets and their friendly efforts to popularize rationality despite all the angry criticism he receives from the post-apocalyptic LW dwellers.
  • The link to Star Slate Codex and whether or not it's a post title I recognize and have therefore already read.

friendly efforts

Just be grateful I'm not using ponies :-)

Now, now, I'm entirely down with the use of ponies to make points about rationality.

You're very good at using ponies for that purpose, and have a strong track record to prove it. <3

Fair enough :-) There's a Less Wronger who actually does so.

You took that criticism quite well.

This comment was quite funny, because of the mental picture it evoked; using ponies can sometimes be a high variance strategy (which is sometimes a reason to not use ponies, sadly). ;)

Thanks! BTW, do you know that there's a Less Wronger who actually uses ponies to promote rationality? And that's no joke.
