It seems more like Highly Selective Skepticism at best to me. Straight naïve skepticism in the "question everything" sense tends to converge around scientific consensus unless you start from several wildly different and confident priors; however, the Flat Earth rhetoric seems to be quite satisfied with handwavy phyiscs when it comes to the sanctified Flat Earth Dogma. Personally, I like reading FE stuff if only because it gets me thinking about "how do I know what I actually know". I like trying to think up simple experiments that test my underlying trust in standard scientific explanations. Like, if I deeply mistrust data that's not my own, how could I convince myself that space has no atmosphere to speak of?
