The EA forums that I'm aware of have spun off towards longtermism and other bizarre reframings.
GiveWell and CharityNavigator still exist. Charities like GiveDirectly still exist. But, at least where I've seen it, conversation online about these things by people who'd consider themselves part of a community has shifted.
- zozbot234 10mo agoLongtermism is sexy and gets a lot of attention, but the bulk of EA donations by a huge proportion still goes to run-of-the-mill poverty relief. The most controversial EA cause that still moves significant amounts of money turns out to be animal welfare.
- UncleMeat 10mo agoMy question is "what is the EA movement?" If somebody gives to a charity rated highly on GiveWell but doesn't talk about it as EA, is that a part of the EA movement?
