It's weird that you are so resistant to a bit of reading

Says the guy who won't read anything over 280 characters and/or anything not in meme form.

qanon is not just memes. There are also games and achievements.

Science can entitle citizens to up to one vote each.

It would seem more likely to be effecacious, if you tried to be convincing, rather than insulting and condemning, but you do you.

Oh boy. Conclusive evidence that Twitter is part of the Deep State. Come the Storm, things will be different, I tell you.

'Twitter bans 7,000 QAnon accounts, limits 150,000 others as part of broad crackdown'

Twitter announced Tuesday that it has begun taking sweeping actions to limit the reach of QAnon content, banning many of the conspiracy theory's followers because of problems with harassment and misinformation.

Twitter will stop recommending accounts and content related to QAnon, including material in email and follow recommendations, and it will take steps to limit circulation of content in features like trends and search. The action will affect about 150,000 accounts, said a spokesperson, who asked to remain unnamed because of concerns about the targeted harassment of social media employees.

The spokesperson said that as part of its new policy, the company had taken down more than 7,000 QAnon accounts in the last few weeks for breaking its rules on targeted harassment.

The sweeping enforcement action will ban QAnon-related terms from appearing in trending topics and the platform's search feature, ban known QAnon-related URLs and prohibit "swarming" of people who are baselessly targeted by coordinated harassment campaigns pushed by QAnon followers.

This means I'll start seeing the freaks on the Hive blockchain lamenting this authoritarian attack on free speech. There's always some every time youtube or twitter bans someone.

Great stuff social networking:

Down the rabbit hole: how QAnon conspiracies thrive on Facebook

Guardian investigation finds more than 3m aggregate followers and members support QAnon on Facebook, and their numbers are growing

In early May, QAnon braced for a purge. Facebook had removed a small subset – five pages, six groups and 20 profiles – of the community on the social network, and as word of the bans spread, followers of Q began preparing for a broader sweep.

Some groups changed their names, substituting “17” for “Q” (the 17th letter of the alphabet); others shared links to back-up accounts on alternative social media platforms with looser rules.

More than just another internet conspiracy theory, QAnon is a movement of people who interpret as a kind of gospel the online messages of an anonymous figure – “Q” – who claims knowledge of a secret cabal of powerful pedophiles and sex traffickers. Within the constructed reality of QAnon, Donald Trump is secretly waging a patriotic crusade against these “deep state” child abusers, and a “Great Awakening” that will reveal the truth is on the horizon.

And conspiracy theories survive here with you and Galaxian (and Cunt formerly).

well, that should not have any significant effect, QAnon will just go underground, and a new set of discreet code phrases will emerge and Dog knows how long it will take the censors to notice...

QAnon, by its very nature has always been underground. It is even in the name. They are a creation of a group of mercenary PR people, who know how to pull the strings of the gullible and useful idiots who provide the grunt. Who provides the funding isn't clear.

At any rate, I don't even expect the Anonymous to try and pull a DOA on twitter

Whatsa DOA on twitter?
...sounds painful.

[Svartalf]

oops, I meant DOS... though DOA could work too, just with a less used term.

[Hermit]

Sorry, I am no good at deciphering TLAs, so please explain: Did you mistakenly refer to Dead On Arrival when you really meant Disk Operating System?
