Looking for communities focused on s-risks

Hey Bulat! Tristan from the Center on Long-Term Risk (CLR) here.

I don't use Telegram and don't know of an existing Telegram group. There are already several existing spaces across different platforms:

• One of the larger Facebook groups for suffering focused ethics is this one
• The Centre for Reducing Suffering (CRS) I think runs the https://www.reddit.com/r/sufferingreducers/ subreddit.
• Sentient Futures have a Slack workspace you can apply to join.
• Compassionate Future has a Discord server and links to a number of Facebook groups and subreddits

The Forum is also used for some discussion in this area.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I'm glad to see you're interested in this topic! Unfortunately, I'm not aware of an active discussion group dedicated to s-risks, but there are some communities and organizations listed here that might allow you to connect with like-minded people.

You might also find some like-minded people in this Facebook group, or other miscellaneous communities like the Sentient Futures Slack or the Non-humans and longtermism Discord. Organizations like the Center on Long-Term Risk or the Center for Reducing Suffering might be able to give you some advice too if you reach out.

Let me know if you decide to create a more niche community for this — I'd be interested! I do think that keeping discussions public on places like the forum is a good thing, where it makes sense.
