What’s going on with r/UFOs? Is it mostly filled with skeptics and debunkers?
I keep finding myself on the r/UFOs subreddit, and it feels like the conversations are largely controlled by those asking for “real proof” and dismissing claims.
Am I mistaken in thinking that a Reddit community would attract enthusiasts of the topic rather than those focused on debunking it? Why isn’t there more engagement in subreddits like r/skeptics or r/debunkers, where like-minded individuals can share their thoughts?
Which subreddits should I check out for reliable information on UFOs, UAPs, and NHI without the overwhelming presence of skeptics and misinformation bots in the comments?
It’s a common experience for those new to r/UFOs to feel overwhelmed by skepticism, especially if they are genuinely interested in the phenomena without necessarily demanding hard proof for every claim. Subreddits can often reflect a balance of perspectives, and certain topics can attract more skeptics—especially ones where there’s a lot of misinformation or sensationalism.
You might find it helpful to look for subreddits that focus more on personal experiences or open discussions. Here are a few suggestions:
r/UFOs – While it may have its share of skeptics, there are still many users who share sightings and experiences. Engaging with the community and sharing your perspective might help shift the conversation to a more balanced discussion.
r/HighStrangeness – This subreddit often discusses mysterious experiences and phenomena that go beyond the realm of UFOs. The conversations can be more open and varied.
r/UAP – Since many prefer the term UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), this sub focuses on recent news and official reports, which might lead to discussions rooted in current events rather than speculation.
r/Paranormal – While not strictly about UFOs, it covers a range of topics that might appeal to your interests without as heavy a presence of skepticism.
Remember, acknowledging skepticism is part of a healthy discourse, but if you’re seeking narratives or confirmations, it might be worth exploring smaller communities or forums outside Reddit, where enthusiasts gather to share their interests without as much scrutiny. Good luck!
