While testing groups existing on the Forum (as opposed to Slack, FB group, etc) probably shouldn't be the main reason you join, this is an open invitation for anyone interested in bioethics to join :)
EA Bioethics is a pretty broad group of people who enjoy thinking about (in any capacity, professionally and for fun):
If this interests you in any way, join our group, post an intro about yourself, and we can go from there :)
Very excited to see experimentation here! I would love for there to be a way for the best sub-forum content to bubble up (assuming the author was happy with it).
Is there a way to get automatically notified regarding a new post?
I gave feedback about another subforum (software engineering) via email but thought it might be useful to add as a comment here about this one.
The 'subforum' seems to be more of a chatroom than a traditional subforum with separate threads where posts can be voted and promoted to the main forum.
It will be harder to create an internal subculture and to grow as a community.
This will make it much more unlikely to succeed and stop future subforum experiments even though this isn't a true subforum.
Another benefit of designing it as a traditional subforum is that there are already lots of related EA forum posts that could be placed in the subforum and allow people to engage with content straight away.
Thanks! I'll pass this along to the CEA dev team. They're working on adding channels, threads, etc but wanted to release something while the rest gets developed.
