For folks new to reddit, it's worth noting that LocalLlama, just like the rest of the internet but especially reddit, is filled with misinformed people spreading incorrect "facts" as truth, and you really can't use the upvote/downvote count as an indicator of quality or how truthful something is there.
Something that is more accurate but put in a boring way will often be downvoted, while straight up incorrect but funny/emotional/"fitting the group think" comments usually get upvoted.
For us who've spent a lot of time on the web, this sort of bullshit detector is basically built-in at this point, but if you're new to places where the group think is so heavy as on reddit, it's worth being careful taking anything at face value.
