    What the hell happened to LessWrong? I rember it being rather humble and profound, very much like the title would imply. This article would be rightfully mocked if it were posted on 4chan, let alone on LessWrong.

      LW was always bad - it was hella race-scientist right from the start, for example. These days, with the rise of public fascism, they’re much more willing to go mask-off neoreactionary.

      It always was bad, there is a reason they needed a ‘this is why heartiste (jfchrist) is wrong’ article (written on slatestar but still). (and I fear that just introduced that pos to more people). Edit: after reading the post, sorry yeah this is def a decline in quality.
