It has definitely been that way for a while. A couple of years perhaps. It's the reason I stay away.
Yeah they say they're just fact checking the conspiracies but the way they go about it is toxic and vile with name calling and insults. The old r/conspiracy was someone posting a conspiracy and people rationally discussing it in the comments. You don't need to be a toxic POS to disagree with someone's idea, you can do it with civility.
maybe fact-check is a bad word but the authentic subscribers would always keep you in check if you were saying something completely off-base or already disproven. Regardless, it was civil either way. It was usually a casual back and forth and not "GOTCHA YOU QANON SCUM! I JUST OWNED YOU!!" which is super fucking childish.
