Hello! I'm Toby. I'm Content Strategist at CEA. I work with the Online Team to make sure the Forum is a great place to discuss doing the most good we can. You'll see me posting a lot, authoring the EA Newsletter and curating Forum Digests, making moderator comments and decisions, and more.
Before working at CEA, I studied Philosophy at the University of Warwick, and worked for a couple of years on a range of writing and editing projects within the EA space. Recently I helped run the Amplify Creative Grants program, to encourage more impactful podcasting and YouTube projects. You can find a bit of my own creative output on my blog, and my podcast feed.

Some extra questions from Saloni's twitter post:
This last one might be covered by one of the bluesky questions, but for completeness:
I'm curating this post because it's a great and useful case study of a (potentially impactful) project. I especially appreciate the detail the authors provide on how the project came to happen, the networking that made it better, etc.
Writing content like this is a great way to share learnings with the community.
BTW- I'm doing tweet threads for curated posts to see if that gives them a bigger audience/ provides a way in for new people onto the Forum. You can see this one here.
I think it is still somewhat confusing (for example you might expect a neutral vote is 50%, but it's actually 0%) - when we implemented it, it was the least worst idea. Keen to hear alternatives!
I think the "X% disagree with question" would be a little unwieldy. A couple ideas:
- just show a mini debate slider, with a line indicating where the user voted.
- a "see vote" link (this means one extra click, so that could be annoying).
