Sorry, how is this a science related question?
I thought this can be seen as social science and I was looking for a more scientific tone instead of subjective "opinions". Which would be a better community to post this in?
I think it's fine here. If something like [email protected] existed, that would be more appropriate, but I think askscience is fine, given the relatively small size of Lemmy.
that was kinda my thinking, maybe this is a good place for social science questions still
We've got [email protected] for casual conversation about the US. You'll likely get more opinions there than straight science, though
Ah, I get that - wanting an empirical answer rather than speculation is totally understandable, especially when the question is about something people have a tendency to speculate about already.
I didn't mean by my question to say you shouldn't post here by the way; maybe next time specifying that you wanted answers with an empirical basis might have helped contextualize the post - I was worried you might have meant to post in a different community, for example.
Yeah that's what I was aiming for, probably should've specified that empirical part more. I was kinda expecting this to be expected in this sub (I edited that into the disclaimer part now)
