I haven’t heard anything about them in quite a while. It’s like they were a hot-button topic of conversation, and then everyone just stopped talking about them. If they’re still around, what would be the reason they seemingly disappeared from the news?

    Most of what they were talking about had something to do with the Trump presidency. That is long over by now, it has now become clear to everyone that Biden isn’t going to be replaced by Trump except through an election.

    It was always a russian influence operation. That effort is probably spent on another operation atm.

      I don’t think it started that way, but I’m sure literally everyone (Russian troll farm included) got in on the action eventually.

        It was a LARP that got jacked by Jim and Ron Watkins. Of course the Russians did everything they could to spread and benefit from QAnon, but, no, they didn’t start it.

    Here’s a dope podcast that follows Q related stuff critically. The back catalog is good to go through, too.

    The Q stuff I used to follow (for fun) has morphed and most of the shows have devolved back to the original grift or angle.

    https://toresays.com/tore-says-show/ <-This lady is full on pathological. I listen for the mental illness.

    https://x22report.com/ You can find various q weirdos (or whatever they’ve become) here.

    Praying medic and neon revolt are still out there.

        There was a time when all the best stuff, the most enlightened, the most accurate, the best analysis of society as a whole, the memes all came from 4chan.

        The problem was that it was full of pure shit too.

        I’ll live and die by the need for freedom of speech and anonymity in discourse at least in a lot of places. Because its far to valuable without it. But now people are too weak to even handle someone telling then to go kill themselves so they can’t hand all the other shit.

        The prime of the Internet is gone forever. We rapidly moving into corporate 1984.

    They do seem to be quieter after Russia got isolated as a result of their war.

    Or maybe it happened after the Jan6 arrests and convictions.

    Hard to tell an exact date
