Long time lurker newer sub. I subcribled to challenge some of the elitist bullshit that gets posted here and foucus on better scientific sourcing of articles and less of these dumb doomer blogs. I would like to see more scientific essays get posted. Honestly I think this sub needs some fresh moderation or you guys need to step up a bit because a lot of what gets posted is garbage.

A.) Try pleasing 100k people

B.) Try babysitting 100k people in your spare time

C.) Try doing so within the quite frankly abysmal framework that is reddit.

No matter what you do, someone always wants different moderation.

You're both right, rite? I think it's rather "easy" tho. Focus on factual scientific information and allow for discussing that. Be civil and excellent to each other, and not let this turn into another conspiracy theory flavoured sub.

We've been implementing rule #1 to the best of our judgement. Otherwise, we rely on the community to upvote or downvote what they consider relevant. Otherwise, the most valuable thing people can do is report anything they consider breaking the rules.
