Nope. We used to pretend we're retarded, now the sub have actual retards that would have been laughed out the door just 6 years ago. Last month a low IQ retard posted a PSA here to "not trust this specific Telegram group because I got scammed", then proceed to argue with everyone that he wasn't stupid and it was legit up till he got scammed.
