    I wish Lemmy would grow to the point when these Reddit moments of "I’m a dermatologist, and actually…” happen as usual as they happen on Reddit.

        Literally three days ago nobody needed to summon a dermatologist.

        As a nerd with regular cycles of bad skin from dermatitis since my teen years I doubt nobody in a community of nerds needed to summon a dermatologist, but we may soon hit the sweet spot of being big enough to have specific expertise in comments without people lying for clout or karma farming!

      That used to be the case on reddit. These days you have to scroll through hundreds of lame jokes to find an actual discussion.

        As far as I notice, puns are an important aspect of English-speaking culture, so I understand that and I’m ok with that. At least for me this “actually…” moment is always worth the scrolling effort :)

          There’s a time and a place and it’s not just wherever you can shove one in.

            It’s just the nature of a completely open and well known forum, I am okay with that. If I want a more edifying conversation, I would look elsewhere anyway.

            The complete openness to thought both beautiful and disgusting is what provides value to reddit, and will eventually provide value to Lemmy. It will be even better on Lemmy because instances that are aligned or adjacent can remain “friends” or federated so the users van easily maintain their echo chambers and create accounts to explore outside of them.

          That’s super interesting- would you have some sources or at least some keywords I could search for more info on how this happens?

            Guess now’s an appropriate time o post this…

            Do you have a source on that? Source? A source. I need a source. Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion. No, you can’t make inferences and observations from the sources you’ve gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you’ve gathered. You can’t make normative statements from empirical evidence. Do you have a degree in that field? A college degree? In that field? Then your arguments are invalid. No, it doesn’t matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation. Correlation does not equal causation. CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION. You still haven’t provided me a valid source yet. Nope, still haven’t. I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I’m debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

      Hey now, we can just lie and pretend to know what we’re talking about, just like most on Reddit! 🥳😉

      You will still find these on Quora. They don’t even need to say what they are, their subtitle will just say it all
