LW's strongest, most dedicated writers all seem to have moved on to other projects or venues, as has the better part of its commentariat.

In some ways, this is a good thing. There is now, for example, a wider rationalist blogosphere, including interesting people who were previously put off by idiosyncrasies of Less Wrong. In other ways, it's less good; LW is no longer a focal point for this sort of material. I'm not sure if such a focal point exists any more.

Where, exactly? All I've noticed is that there's less interesting material to read, and I don't know where to go for more.

Okay, SSC. That's about it.

Here's one discussion. One thing that came out of it is the RationalistDiaspora subreddit.

LW as an incubator?

Or a host for a beautiful parasitic wasp?

Toxoplasmosis is a better metaphor if you want to go that way :-D
