Since social media companies cracked down on QAnon content following the January 6 Capitol coup attempt, catchphrases and secret messages related to the conspiracy theory have all but disappeared.
Key facts include, and are not limited to:
• A report published by the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensics Lab on Wednesday concluded that QAnon-related chatter surged at the beginning of the pandemic, peaked in June 2020 during the protests following George Floyd’s death, and spiked again in the lead-up to the January 6 Capitol coup attempt.
• Appearances of QAnon-related content on mainstream social media platforms decreased to a low murmur after social media companies tightened their moderation policies and banned thousands of QAnon accounts and groups after the Capitol coup attempt.
• The prolonged silence from the original Q poster, as well as former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss and encouragement from many in the Q online community to use different code language has also had an effect on the decline in QAnon-related chatter.
• Despite increased attention on alternative social media platforms like Parler, Gab, and Telegram, QAnon-related chatter has not come close to reaching the scale it once did on mainstream social media platforms.
• Popular traditional QAnon catch phrases include "WWG1WGA" ("Where we go one we go all"), "The Storm", and the "Great Awakening" -- which have been ditched by continued adherents of the conspiracy to avoid detection.
QAnon cultists are still anxiously waiting for the day when former president Trump will round up and arrest an alleged global network of Hollywood actors, Democrats, and other celebrities they falsely believe are running a child sex trafficking ring. The adherents developed entrenched communities online, and communicate with each other using code language and catchphrases. The January 6 coup attempt was organized by many of the same right-wing message boards where the conspiracy theory thrived, and several rioters were identified as known QAnon influencers. After President Joe Biden was legally inaugurated on January 20, and the QAnon community's big day obviously never came, many followers lost faith and the anonymous Q poster went silent.
