The far right is struggling to contain Qanon after giving it life Moderators of Reddit's raucous pro-Trump message board have banned Qanon posts, saying the theory is now an embarrassment to its community.

by Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny / Aug.10.2018 / 5:29 PM ET


quote:

The Qanon conspiracy theory that recently began to surface at President Donald Trump’s rallies has burst into the national consciousness, but some of the most conspiracy-friendly figures on the far right are pushing back against the theory — including the very ones that helped the theory gain prominence. Qanon has become too much for some of the web’s most die-hard Trump supporters — the moderators of Reddit’s r/The_Donald, a message board of Trump supporters that boasts almost 640,000 members and is one of the most active communities on the entire website.


quote:

Two moderators of the community, who oversee the subreddit and its hundreds of posts per day, told NBC News that they have banned Qanon posts and automatically delete any new posts about the theory that they now view as an embarrassment to their community. The moderators declined to disclose their real names to NBC News out of concerns for their privacy.


Fascinating

All for a LARP...

Might as well send the word out to other crackpot lunatics that this is the new gathering ground for Qanon.

they found out that it's a LARP and are distancing themselves from it just like many posters on the poliboard.

Im okay with this because there is a place on reddit for Q post. Until Trump officially acknowledges Q, Q should stay off /r/The_Donald. Not all Trumpkins are on board yet. That’s okay.

Not all Trump supporters I would classify as Trumpkins. Anyone who has bought in on Qanon are certainly Trumpkins.
