THREAD: I've been watching since last night how admins of QAnon groups are planning to evade or survive Facebook's new restrictions. So far, it's been a combination of changing names, creating new accounts on Parler, deleting group cover photos, and going from public to private
One admin tells members about going private: "If we keep this group low key and below the radar we can keep the fight going here on FB."
Another admin asked members what to do and the majority view was to go private. "I agree especially after 3 huge groups were taken down today"
Here are examples of admins changing the names of their groups. Direct references to Q, QAnon and WWG1WGA were removed. Like on Twitter, they're adopting "Cue", "17" and "lion" in their names instead.
"Don't indentify yourself in bios. Embrace the Anon in QAnon," says one admin
Admins of a couple of big QAnon groups tell members they've opened accounts on Parler "where we will not be censored".
Some influencers did the same after their Twitter accounts with down. But Parler is an echo chamber and not a good platform for recruiting new believers
Here are a few examples of admins deleting the cover photos of their groups. I find it quite amusing that they think Facebook algorithms will not be able to detect what the they're doing all the while as they have Q and WWG1WGA in their titles...
