Every science article is just a comment section disapproving the article. That's why I stay away from these science communities, it's all clickbait and lies

At the same time, commenters don't necessarily know what the fuck they're talking about either.

Yeah Reddit always had that problem, I think it's here too - top rated comment is someone saying it won't work and the article is wrong, everyone just accepts it without question.

I still see people using battery breakthrough stories as an example of stuff that never comes too market despite most of them being in the very phone the person is using.

I genuinely think a lot of them are just people who hate science and engineering so don't want people to be interested in it

So strange for those people to hang out in science communities in that case, to me.

a cat group I started the same time as this has 5k more subs and no whining. it is just cat pics. there are a lot of fake science sites to avoid but they all have bills to pay. they expect it to be like reddit junk and all. been to reddit through search results and sometimes found useful threads. mostly not.

Yeah, I think they come from the front page, I don't think you see it as much on more obscure articles.

Looks at that.... The one thing good about reddit was the /r/science sub, it was always full of moderator deleted comments that were off topic, factually incorrect, etc. posted articles actually were scientific reports and not clickbait crap lik this

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Wait. I read above that this article is good. No?

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

What's bad is that it's a good article. It covers things very well
