we could broaden the scope of the new themotte - it could be rat-adjacent civil discourse, period

Part of the benefit of this community to me is that things are primarily focused on the culture war. It's something which can almost never be talked about even semi objectively in other places.

Also separating it from the general rationalist and effective altruism movements is a good movie in my opinion because it means they can distance themselves from tribal politics, and hopefully you get something done.

realtime chat (or official Discord, but it'd be nice to have chat integrated with the forum)

I second this, but we should start small and maybe have a quarterly or monthly meetups instead of constant voice chat. I've tried this in other communities and it can drag things down hill and crate a lot of drama unless it's inconsistent.

Yes to footnotes, no to images! I have seen far too many forums killed by memes.

Plan to add more later as I read.
