feature idea: any time a lesswrong post is posted to sneerclub, a comment with zero votes at the bottom of the comment section is generated, as a backlink; it contains a cross-community warning, indicating that sneerclub has often contained useful critique, but that that critique is often emotionally charged in ways that make it not allowed on lesswrong itself. Click through if ready to emotionally interpret the emotional content as adversarial mixed-simulacrum feedback.
I do wish subreddits could be renamed and that sneerclub were the types to choose to do so if it were available; there's great commentary there but I think it'd be better if it weren't a name that invites disses. criticalclub, where they analyze lesswrong posts using critical theory, would be a far more interesting contribution. But sneerclub does similar work, even though it's emotionally charged.

I find that most places that optimize for disses have significant amounts of insightful disses. it just means you have to have the appropriate prior over diss frequency in order to remove simulacrum 3 meanings. but I've since been informed that simulacrum 3 complexity there is much worse than I anticipated.

A stopped clock is right twice a day. But it gives zero information about the time.
it's hardly a stopped clock. But of the places that criticize LW that I've reviewed recently, by far my favorite so far is rationalwiki. their review is downright glowing by my standards. and they've got a lot of other very high quality documentation of relevant concepts.
