Hi, Ivy Astrix here. I saw some of my work referenced here so figured I'd pop in and do an AMA. I did harm reduction at Vibecamp 1/2, and Vibegala 1/2. Happy to answer what I can as long as it doesn't violate confidences or isn't in service of personal grievances.

Asking this question as a means of opening the door to the topic: given that you've seen some of your work referenced here, are there any corrections/grievances etc. that you have, either specifically towards sneer club or otherwise? Not trying to stir up drama, again, just wanting to open the door for those kinds of thoughts/responses.

    Not really, I wrote what I did because I thought it needed to be said and it's one perspective on things so as I said above, talk about things as you wish.

    I don't know if anyone's watched this clip of Alex Jones' condensed views on things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDa0q9-hmTE but I kind of view Sneer Club has the counterstrike against Rationalism's current unfettered playground (in the circle of truth I don't know a ton about you folks). I respect the difficult job CFAR, CEA and even Vibecamp have to do but their communities are so insular there's just not any accountability when something goes wrong (I would be ousted as a board member from my festival if I ever had done something like ignore someone reporting SA for 2 years).

    I guess the only other thing is maybe that I don't think most people in these circles, even the ones I have differences with are intentionally evil or whatever and I wish they had a better way of governance or accountability than public Twitter / LessWrong / etc posts. These social vortexes are really intense and I think if they had more robust internal systems to deal with conflict a lot of stuff wouldn't happen / would get resolved a lot more cleanly.
