As long as you don't spread disinformation with overconfidence you really just learn.

The problem with false information are the people who want to sell it as correct information for a variety of reasons.

I don't know why this was downvoted, you are correct.

I'm sure that I've posted some wrong things, but not disinformation. Nobody who is ever going to do anything with the information on that sub will ever rely on info posted there. The worst I've seen is some pseudo-news organization actually quoting a Reddit post on r/spacex without attribution. People who actually build rockets don't learn their craft from Reddit.
