confession, i totally stopped reading responses to me on LW at some point and idk how many long, thought-out comments ppl have made to me that i've never seen

also clarification, people on LW did nothing wrong, its just i went in already feeling like an outsider/inadequate and *also* like LW is my tribe, so i was just super sensitive and LW's typical cold vibes made my body feel like i was going to die

I never get this feeling. I wonder how common is that. It would explain so much of social media interactions.

I feel like LW would be my tribe if they were smarter, and I think you probably have a very similar tribe if not actually the same one.

Lest people get the wrong impression, someone should point out that your net reception was exceptionally positive, with 250 karma in your only post and high karma on almost all comments. This verdict reads "super high prestige poster" to most people. 1/n

it's really funny how Twitter somehow took the best of LW / SSC / ACX and probably a bunch of other internet subcultures
three cheers for radical cooperation (not to be confused with radical centrism, the dot in the middle isn't necessarily where anyone wants to be)

So what's the solution to this? This seems like a legitimate concern. Do you have suggestions for an ideal forum that wouldn't make people feel this way?
