    Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania used AI to analyze more than five years of posts from nearly 70,000 Reddit users, according to a report published in Medical Xpress.

    A solid way to go about anything, of course.

      Meh, I’m fine with it. I think if you read enough people saying something, you can pick out that there is probably some truth to it.

      It’s not like they could come to Lemmy for info, because all they’d find is “Capitalism sucks! Eat the rich! Revolution!!” on every single post, regardless of subject. I posted a workout routine to a workout sub here once, and it quickly devolved into shit like “Cheeto man doesn’t want people to work out.” Lemmy posters are fucking obsessed with making everything political. Even health stuff.

      So I don’t think Reddit is too bad for their use case in this scenario. I came here from Reddit, but I’m on Reddit more than Lemmy again. Reddit has more people. More subjects. And less politics.
