Reddit is still a step above other alternatives.

A good test for any community is: try posting that is factually incorrect but that supports the agenda of the community. Does the community call it out? In Reddit it does happen.

In my experience, that kind of thing might only get called out by moderators or the outliers who reply the most. They're the ones with the strongest interest in proving anything. Only then will the rest of the community dogpile. Otherwise, it goes ignored.
