  • This, surely it’s more usual? The first time I ever reached out the person sent me three recent articles and an invitation to let them know when/where my research was published, even though it wasn’t relevant to their discipline.

    I was a lowly grad student and he was a senior academic with his own lab. I’d heard of his research because it was mentioned in a science documentary on tv, and the whole experience really gave me a happy feeling.

    I can see why ForgotAboutDre@lemmy.world only did it the one time after the experience they had, though.




  • I think you’re right.

    I feel like you’re one of the people this article is talking about.

    Dromio05 showed me several posts he deemed questionable since Reddit took away his own mod badge. For example, this post shares a link to an article about “rebel canners,” which Dromio05 argues “gives a public platform to people who openly encourage methods and recipes that are known to be unsafe, like canning milk and open kettle canning.” The post is labeled unsafe, but Dromio05 would have removed the link to the article.
