While i agree r/science was terrible at this, it at least kept the conversation relevant. On new discoveries its nice to read about the science rather than: “here comes the end” or some fart joke.
Id like to think this meme is directed towards user exodus rather than moderation to keep things on topic. I hope that the fediverse keeps things on topic and doesn’t complain too much about moderation when it’s necessary.
All r/science was, was r/politics…every fucking “study” was from sudo science bullshit that just allowed everyone to circle jerk each other about their own bias. Hell that meav mod was just a repost bot that posted non stop from that psychology today website and then sold their account…and it’s still a fuckin mod.
I just got eventually banned every time I posted that mvae or w/e the fuck that mods name was, was a bot just posting political shit hidden as “science”.
I quit that sub when I got the 100th study with a sample size of 20, talking about some clickbaity shit that was going to be silently disproven a few years later.
That shit was sooo fucking annoying. “We went to a klan rally, and polled the 10 white guys there” All said they vote republican…Title: “All republicans are KKK members study shows”…like what in the literal fuck
r/science didn’t allow jokes, off topic comments, low effort references, or anti-science rhetoric from morons who barely passed high school chemistry so anything that hit trending would have to get nuked from orbit.

It was always double-digit sample sizes.

Not even talking about politics. Just shitty science studies with hot takes and low sample sizes.
bash: science: command not foundIf your only interaction with it was on trending posts, sure.
Terrible? How?
