/r/askscience was one of the highlights of Reddit - I’d love to help establish a similar community here in /c/askscience. I especially liked that posts and followup questions were rewarded for being inquisitive, and that off topic/inaccurate responses were removed. Posts on topics I’m familiar with were filled with scientific information, and I learned a lot from posts on topics outside my area of expertise (also the ones in my area of expertise, to be honest).
I have a science background (nuclear physics) and lots of experience communicating with remote collaborators. I’m fairly active on lemmy (on another account, I created this one to be my semi-professional one) and would generally have no problem checking the site at least 3 times a day. And I have no issues with mod coordination over Discord.
