I feel like it increases barrier to entry for new people.
Intended audience is me from three years ago, I guess cutting-edge-adjacent.
Barrier to entry shouldn't be your main criteria. High quality posts draw intelligent people.
Nah. Both Discussion and Main fairly consistently have a mix of intimidating technicality, fun (e.g., "Rationality Quotes"), lifehackery, ethics, random discussion, etc., etc., etc. One more bit of intimidating technicality isn't going to scare anyone away who wasn't going to be scared away anyhow.
Sounds like fun. Go for it, say I.
(Important note: I have not done anything remotely resembling research into the thought processes of potential new LW readers, and my model of them may be badly wrong. Don't trust the above much. It's just one random person's opinion.)
