That seems like a setup for some interesting questions!
What are you trying to achieve? How do you think the community could be helpful towards this goal? Also, how is the assessment of helpfulness going?
My path to LW was to Sl4 -> overcoming bias -> LW. This was because interested in systems that can change themselves in how they handle problems ( how they manipulate facets I didn't have a good language for it back then though).
I'm now getting close-ish (1-3 years) out of having something that I think can manipulate facets in a flexible way (using an internal market place based on user feedback). I mentioned it here. My rough strategy for what to do with it long term is here.
This requires different long term strategies. With the way I view things...
I'm interested from hearing from everyone who reads this.
Who is checking LW's Discussion area and how often?
1. When you check, how much voting or commenting do you do compared to reading?
2. Do bother clicking through to links?
3. Do you check using a desktop or a smart phone? Do you just visit the website in browser or use an RSS something-or-other?
4. Also, do you know of other places that have more schellingness for the topics you think this place is centered on? (Or used to be centered on?) (Or should be centered on?)
I would ask this in the current open thread except that structurally it seems like it needs to be more prominent than that in order to do its job.
If you have very very little time to respond or even think about the questions, I'd appreciate it if you just respond with "Ping" rather than click away.
