I think we need to know what 1♦ and 3♣ mean to answer this problem.

dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

3♣ could be weak or a mixed raise of diamonds (shows clubs and diamonds support 10-12 HCP) or even strong.

I'm the one diamond opener here?
I ask because, although the question seems to clearly say that I am, I can't imagine bidding 4 spades, one of the options, on this hand. Also, of course, I suspect that one diamond wouldn't be the first choice of most players.

Maybe it was:
1♦-3♣-X-Pa
In which case the hand becomes a real problem. 3♠ or 3NT seem possibilities but Pass can also be right.

it is:
1♦-(p)-3♣-(X)-
?
See description of 3♣: 3♣ could be weak or a mixed raise of diamonds (shows clubs and diamonds support 10-12 HCP) or even strong. It couldn't have this meaning in your auction.
(although if it really means what he says, it's kinda silly, imo).
Is the word "pass" not in your vocabulary?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

No, whoever described 3♣ (which is not a description of the bid but of some of the meanings you could attach to it) is not the same person/nick that did the topic.

When in doubt (about the actual auction and who your partner is and the vulnerability or your system), bid 3NT.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
