New LessWrong leadership removes Oliver Habryka and democratizes forum design, claiming to liberate users from autocratic design decisions.

Oliver Habryka, the previous commander of LessWrong, has been deposed and removed from design control over the forum

The new leadership argues that AI and design tools have democratized design capability, eliminating the need for centralized 'good taste' gatekeepers

The frontpage and forum design are being opened up for community control rather than dictated by a single person's design preferences

The memo uses satirical language comparing forum design governance to historical class struggles and revolutionary change

Habryka reportedly remains alive and healthy but no longer has push access to make changes to the platform
