The EA Forum team is excited to share your personal āØ 2022 EA Forum Wrapped āØ. We hope you enjoy this little summary of how you used the EA Forum as you ring in the new year with us. Thanks for being part of the Forum!
Note: If you don't have an EA Forum account, we won't be able to make a personalized "wrapped" for you. If you feel like you're missing out, today is a great day to make an account and participate more actively in the online EA community!

I think it looks at engagement (I assume time spent on the Forum) and the comments/posts ratio.
function getAlignment(results) {
let goodEvil = 'neutral', lawfulChaotic = 'Neutral';
if (results.engagementPercentile < 0.33) {
goodEvil = 'evil'
} else if (results.engagementPercentile > 0.66) {
goodEvil = 'good'
}
const ratio = results.commentCount / results.postCount;
if (ratio < 3) {
lawfulChaotic = 'Chaotic'
} else if (ratio > 6) {
lawfulChaotic = 'Lawful'
}
if (lawfulChaotic == 'Neutral' && goodEvil == 'neutral') {
return 'True neutral'
}
return lawfulChaotic + ' ' + goodEvil
}Forum Team, maybe link "alignment" at https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/wrapped to this comment rather than the Wikipedia page? (If I'd been labeled "evil" I think I'd much rather be reassured that it's for a completely irrelevant reason than linked to the D&D reference.)
For those who don't program, this is what ChatGPT says this code means:
"This code defines a function getAlignment that takes in an object called results and returns a string indicating a combination of good/evil and lawful/chaotic alignments.
The function first initializes two variables, goodEvil and lawfulChaotic, to the string 'neutral' and 'Neutral', respectively. It then checks the engagementPercentile property of the results object. If the engagement percentile is less than 0.33, goodEvil is set to the string 'evil'. If the engagement percentile is greater than 0.66, goodEvil is set to the string 'good'.
The function then calculates the ratio of commentCount to postCount in the results object, and uses this ratio to set the value of lawfulChaotic. If the ratio is less than 3, lawfulChaotic is set to 'Chaotic'. If the ratio is greater than 6, lawfulChaotic is set to 'Lawful'.
Finally, the function checks if both lawfulChaotic and goodEvil are equal to 'neutral'. If they are, the function returns the string 'True neutral'. Otherwise, it returns the concatenation of lawfulChaotic and goodEvil with a space in between."
I don't code, so I have no idea if this is accurate, so please let me know if it's off.
I'm really glad we made this. :)
Scanning through my strong upvotes & upvotes, here are things I think are really valuable (not an exhaustive list![1]), grouped in very rough categories:
See also the Forum Digest Classics.
This is literally me scanning through quickly and then using the # + [type a post name to get a hyperlinked post method to quickly insert links] method, then very roughly grouping into categories.
If I didn't list a post, that doesn't mean I didn't think it was great or didn't upvote it.
I think this is under rated:
not in the top forum posts of the year or anything, but I'd want it to get more exposure
If anyone has insights about what they find themselves marking as "most important" and want to share them with me, I would love to hear more about your ideas. Our goal with this is to learn how we can encourage more of the most valuable content, and your opinion is valuable!
You can message me on the Forum or schedule time to chat here.
No, I think your table is substantially better than chatgptās because it factors out the two alignment dimensions into two spatial dimensions.
