The same elements that make Reddit and Twitter unpleasant places to comment are also the elements that meant they sustained the discussion around the research (and conspiracies) of the ongoing Covid pandemic. There is no Covid aware community really anywhere else of remotely the same size as on Twitter and secondarily Reddit (which cracked down a bit). The weird part is 4.5 years into this pandemic there are still significant restrictions in most places that don't allow Covid medical papers to be posted and discussed. Its an ongoing problem.

The actual medical field has these debates just fine without reddit or facebook or twitter. By using evidence and peer review. The people having their covid debate on reddit probably don’t work in the field and their opinion is therefore inactionable, unqualified, and moot.

We already know that both Twitter and Reddit heavily censored and weighted posts around this topic.
