gwern:
I’ve been browsing /r/LessWrong for many years, due to having toggled on ‘subscribe’ and never quite getting around to leaving. I will be leaving shortly, but before I do:
I think this subreddit has gotten so bad over the years it should be shut down or rebooted with a new set of moderators.

The moderators don’t exist. Sole moderator Oliver Habryka hasn’t commented on Reddit in 3 years, and is extremely busy with vastly more important things like AI safety, Lighthaven, and the actual LessWrong. Spammers continue indefinitely for months until, presumably, they earn a site-wide ban. The guy who objects to delegating? I guess he decided that nobody on a forum can handle the responsibility of moderation?
