Hello!

We’ve enabled agree/disagree voting on the EA Forum, and shared some other changes and new features in the announcement post.

There’s a “Celebrations & gratitude thread” to share appreciation and excitement about cool projects in effective altruism — I invite you to add a comment (you can share an update on your own work)! 

Best,
Lizka
