I feel like I'm really missing out here :saddest:
@thestrongest QAnon is too normie to be a real conspiracy theory, it's just retarded.
@ethot @thestrongest I feel like it was conjured up as a distraction to taint any investigations into actual elite pedophile rings.
@ArdanianRight @ethot @thestrongest The only reason I doubt that is that the first Q posts were so low-effort and unconvincing that it's a miracle of mass stupidity that it ever took off. Basically, you would have to be extremely stupid, and extremely prone to wishful thinking, to believe Q was anything more than some internet LARPer.
@ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @ethot @thestrongest

Q led to very interesting rabbit holes. If any it damaged the pedophile networks more than anything ever in History.

Have any of you read their posts?
@mystik @ArdanianRight @ethot @thestrongest Q was the ultimate Cope: It told Trump supporters frustrated with the lack of progress that no no, Trump was fully in control and had a master plan, he was cooperating with the Good guys in the Deep State, and he and Sessions were gonna begin draining the swamp and locking up the traitors any day now. Absolutely zero evidence for any of this, but it was what the MAGA crowd wanted to hear, so many just uncritically believed it.

The last few years I've barely been on Gab, so I don't know how the Q nonsense has mutated, but I do know that it was junk from the beginning, and tying legitimate revelations and scandals to junk will ultimately never help your cause.
@ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @ethot @thestrongest
What makes you think that Trump is not in control and doesn't have a master plan?
@mystik @ArdanianRight @ethot @thestrongest Pretty much everything that has happened so far, though if Trump manages to prevent Biden's election steal at the last minute, I'm certainly ready to reevaluate things.
@ChristiJunior @mystik @ArdanianRight @thestrongest I don't even care about the shady votes at this point, I don't want Trump to repeal 230. He's a retard, I'd rather be forced into tranny sex under Biden's admin than have Trump ruining the Internet in a vain grab to keep his Twitter account
@ethot @ArdanianRight @mystik @thestrongest The internet is already fucking ruined and effectively a force for evil now. I'd rather Trump nuke it than let the SJWs use it to brainwash people and control information.
@ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @mystik @thestrongest "If I can't have it, no one can!"

Do I even need to bring up baby or bathwater?

It's a very shortsighted take. With or without competition, the Internet's prevalence is going to keep growing and growing. You don't end the Internet by allowing it to get obnoxiously worse.
@ethot @ArdanianRight @mystik @thestrongest Big Tech needs to be nuked, at all costs. Ideally I'd like to see Trump take out its owners with drone strikes and/or special forces, but I'll settle for the sites being either broken up or made unworkable.

@ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @ethot @mystik @thestrongest If only Trump was smart enough to use decentralized alternatives like the Fedi we could see decentralization become mainstream.

@xianc78 @ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @ethot @thestrongest The problem here is not moderation. @jack is free to do what he does. Who cares, his website is crap anyway. That's not the problem.

The real problem here is college, cultural marxism, cultural wars. Degeneracy promoted by big money. Big tech is not a decisive player in this. Big Tech just help one side, they didn't create the fracture, they didn't divide us.

@mystik @ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @thestrongest @ethot I just want the Internet to go back to how it was pre-2010s when people actually went to websites and not just social media pages. It was much better that way.

@xianc78 @ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @thestrongest @ethot No can do. Webdevs ruined it. You know, the whole "disrupt" thing, agile crap, thousands of frameworks, responsive crap, npm, etc.

@mystik @ChristiJunior @thestrongest @ArdanianRight @ethot You don't have to use those things. It's probably easier not to use those frameworks if you are just making a basic website.

@xianc78 @ChristiJunior @thestrongest @ArdanianRight @ethot Bro, I used to visit regularly a couple of websites, I cannot do it anymore, they're totally broken now because of bad webdev.

I refuse to enable WASM, for example, some websites now require it, it's nuts. That's another thing: you cannot visit a lot of websites today if you take your opsec seriously.
