I think the strict moderation helps a lot here. Just as it does on some of the better subreddits and forums. As for non-expertise; I have tried to explain several basic biostatistics concepts on here in relation to COVID threads. Generally this was because of an understandable fallacy or mistake being made. When the mistake was genuine the response to my comments is usually good. When there is an agenda the response is usual hostile or asinine. Anyway, it’s much nicer to argue with a bunch of people who value argument on HN than it is to try the same thing on r/news.
