LessWrong Reacts
LessWrong has its own palette of clickable reacts to text! They are quite different from those on other websites.
This is currently a stub, but hopefully in the future, there will here be a table of all the reacts and additional context on each one.
Image | Name | Further Information |
 | Agree | This react indicates that you agree with the text. |
 | Disagree | This react indicates that you disagree with the text. |
 | Moloch | This react is a reference to Scott Alexander's classic essay Meditatons on Moloch, in which the evil god 'Moloch', from Allan Ginsberg's famous poem of the same name, is made the face of all human coordination problems and the suffering and strife that they lead to. In a problem where no actor is ultimately responsible, we figuratively name Moloch responsible, to have an enemy to fight. This is appropriate when someone is regrettably fighting a faceless bureaucracy, or a culture, or something much larger than a single human, that no human fully determines or controls. |
