This is simultaneously a large body and an insignificant minority.
* How many are junk accounts? IDK. But I do know it's international, because I live in Berlin, Germany, and socialise regularly.

- barnabee 1y agoI have an account on LessWrong. Heck, I even try to act rationally most of the time. I don’t consider myself a Rationalist or part of the Rationalist community. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that number turns out to overstate the size by an order of magnitude.
