Hah yes, I'm not so much looking for "safety". I'd rather have people dig deep into my citations and poke holes in my findings (because some things are quite ugly as you can probably imagine). I WANT TO be proven wrong, if that makes sense. I don't like the things I've found, they make me uncomfortable and sad.

The biggest issue I have with Reddit at the moment, as a scientist myself, is the unwillingness to engage with uncomfortable truths described in peer-reviewed publications (hardly conspiracy theories)
