Posts about the EA community and projects that focus on the EA community

The community topic covers posts about the effective altruism community, as well as applying EA in one's personal life. The tag also applies to posts about the Forum itself, since this is a community space. You should use the community tag if one of the following things is true:

  • The post is about EA as a cultural phenomenon (as opposed to EA as a project of doing good)
  • The post is about norms, attitudes or practices you'd like to see more or less of within the EA community
  • The post would be irrelevant to someone who was interested in doing good effectively, but NOT interested in the effective altruism community 
  • The post concerns an ongoing conversation, scandal or discourse that would not be relevant to someone who doesn't care about the EA community.

Posts tagged with community are displayed in a separate list on the homepage to other posts; this list can be hidden. 


About the effective altruism community 

The effective altruism community is partly a professional network of people who are interested in pursuing impactful careers. It is also partly a social community of people who are interested in doing the most good possible. Although there is a Centre for Effective Altruism, effective altruism is decentralised, and various organizations, local groups and individuals consider themselves as part of the community. In 2020, David Moss estimated that there were 4500-10,000 members of the EA community (90% confidence interval).[1]
