Which is always the tradeoff with these decisions: Arrest the spread, but shunt those already infected into other fora where they can go even crazier together.
It occurs to me, incidentally, that QAnon has to some extent been less harmful than it might be otherwise because of the core tenet that Trump and his allies have some master plan against their imaginary satanic cabal, for which they’re all meant to wait...
