Sounds pretty much like any forum.

  Many fora have more politics?

  Weeelll... r/spacex has quite a lot of real engineers and overconfident opinionated amateurs get called out on details real quick.

    That's why I participate on r/spacex. I am free to post my KSP understanding of spaceflight and be corrected by real rocket scientists. Makes me feel smart _and_ learn, while spreading a minimum of disinformation. And most of the time, I learn things that I would not have even known to ask about.

      As long as you don't spread disinformation with overconfidence you really just learn. The problem with false information are the people who want to sell it as correct information for a variety of reasons.

        I don't know why this was downvoted, you are correct. I'm sure that I've posted some wrong things, but not disinformation. Nobody who is ever going to do anything with the information on that sub will ever rely on info posted there. The worst I've seen is some pseudo-news organization actually quoting a Reddit post on r/spacex without attribution. People who actually build rockets don't learn their craft from Reddit.

    r/math and r/physics also have little tolerance for bs too
