Waiting for Q: An Exploration of QAnon Users' Online Migr...
Antonis Papasavva, Enrico Mariconti · 2023-02-03 · via cs.SI updates on arXiv.org

Online communities are groups of people who interact primarily via the Internet, often sharing common interests. Some of these groups, particularly supporters of Q who created the far-right conspiracy theory known as QAnon, are highly toxic and controversial. These communities are often banned from various mainstream online social networks due to their controversy. This study examines the deplatforming and subsequent migrations of QAnon adherents, following a two-step process. We analyze Reddit data, finding that users opt for Voat as an alternative following the Reddit bans, particularly influenced by Q's postings on 4chan. Subsequently, upon Voat's shutdown announcement, we observe users recommending Poal. Among several insights, we compare the effects of abrupt permanent bans and announced shutdowns on the migration patterns of these conspiracists. Specifically, we find that almost half of Poal's active users are Voat migrants who registered after the shutdown was announced. This contradicts the patterns observed after the Reddit bans, suggesting that advance warning can facilitate more coordinated migrations. Lastly, our research uncovers evidence of discussions and planning related to the January 6th, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, which emerged shortly after Voat's shutdown, predominantly on Poal. This underscores the continued activity of the conspiracy, albeit at a diminished scale due to various bans and a shutdown, while also exposing Poal as a platform that hosts dangerous individuals.
