I am 100% certain that subreddit is full of pseudoscience.

OP, please do not go to that sub and work yourself into a frenzy.

No, it's not good to be exposed to mold. However, the most likely outcome is allergies. Like, regular allergy symptoms. Many insane "medical conditions" are attributed to mold exposure without evidence.

Again, I'm not saying mold is good for you. I'm saying alarmist pseudoscience doesn't help anyone.

According to the FDA there is no danger to long term mold exposure.

So that’s nice.

BTW if you believe the FDA on that kind of thing, I expect there will be some good deals on Ohio housing in the near future.

Obviously a subreddit full of whack jobs is a far better source of information.

But I'm glad you disclosed where you get your info from and what you consider a reliable source. I'm sure that will help OP properly contextualize your suggestions.
