further resolution: 1. Reporter reached out to a discord mod for comment 2. Tech reporter rather than culture which seems relatively good 3. Not certain to be a Proper hit piece but my bead is that in this time legibility is indistinguishable from threat

more I guess the reporter probably pulled an attendence list for a meetup and is contacting them one at a time He apparently hasn't reached out to Scott yet Not sure whether investigative reporting SOP or if the kind of thing you do if you want to crush someone

stray thought wonder how many /r/sneerclub mods will be interviewed wonder how many of the people who have been banned from rationalist gatherings because of their personality disorders are going to make the cut

Part of my concern is that if NY T represents Scott positively, then they’re opening themselves up to the “wow, NYT reported positively on this community, look at the things these various people have said.” It’s hard to see an avenue where the reporting is positive.

Rereading your tweet I guess you’re saying the same thing. But, yeah. Doesn’t look good.
