Alright. Let's compare two random posts from both communities.

First on r/science:
https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/91ci7u/study_finds_that_white_and_latino_mass_shooters/
This guy posted a link to a press article which it turn cites a peer-reviewed study:
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0022427818787225
Some of the comments discuss suspected biases in the study, and a civilized discussion is permitted by the fact that the whole thread relies on a cited source and the r/science rules against memeing and anti-science.

Now on /sci/:
>>9888656
This guy asked for other anons to spoonfeed him because he wanted to become a literal söyboy. The first reply shows a stock image of Söylent bottles with no mention whatsoever to the fact that Söylent drinkers are ass-depressed because they have no social meals and are basically on medication instead of food. One reply told OP to grow some balls. All the rest is pointless shitposting. No scientific work whatsoever was cited in the making of this thread.

Mathematicians usually don't claim their ideas exist in a physical sense (but there probably are some), but almost all of them try to *imagine* them as real to better be able to work with them, that is not the same as claiming they are physical. Mathematics studies precise ideas in a formal manner. If a mathematician claims one of these ideas to be real, it is a claim outside the realm of mathematics, hence not a mathematical claim. Per definition such claims cannot exist in mathematics. You are free to call the mathematicians that make such claims for pseudoscientists, but a piece of math cannot be pseudoscience.
