Again there are real world gatherings of conspiracy thinkers or people within a specific conspiracy community like MUFON. There is no skeptic convention that carries the same sense of togetherness. There is no community of anti-conspiracy theorists that grants a sense of belonging to something bigger whoch is one of the traditional appeals of conspiracy theorist groups.
Im stopping here. I can only spend so much time repeatedly pointing out that your position is non-factual. If you can’t tell the difference between a formal organization with a membership list and an internet forum I can’t help you.

Correct.
Incorrect. Online there are, but for some reason you want to pretend the internet doesn't exist.

Look here’s a convention for UFO people! A real world gathering of people in a real life community with a membership organization that all buy into a conspiracy.
You’re wrong and clownishly so.
A forum isn’t a real community.
Oh look. People gathering to discuss a single subject. Not people wanting to discuss flat earth or 9/11.
"Conspiracy theorists" is an invented label used to shut down discussions and feed the anti-Conspiracy theorist's superiority complex.
A wuhan lab leak is a conspiracy theory. Don't discuss it.
