That started around the middle of 2019, maybe toward the end.
In my estimation, Q made two very crucial mistakes:
-
Promoting too much evangelical bullshit. This already has and will inevitably cause(d) large complications that will need to be corrected later down the road.
Don't misunderstand, I consider myself a Christian, I just think there were better ways to win over "pious" boomers.
-
Q gave in to one of the most obvious attack vectors of the movement/board in condoning "baker wars" by speaking to the importance of notables.
I can concede that having something to easily link back to here on QR for other sites that stave off normalfag floods makes sense for disseminating information, but I think Q could've easily worded things better, which was more conducive to the unavoidable complications that speaking to the ego of the bakers caused.
I think that between these two things and the complacency of anons around here, causing the community to forget to socialize newfags, has created very large hurdles.
I feel these days /pol/ is once again the go to place to have proper discussions and I also find there are less morans there and that the infiltrators are easier to spot.
With all of that being said, I still deeply appreciate the anons that still come here and, clearly, Q and /ourguys/. However, I think my attention is best focused in other areas. The spiritual warfare is important right now and metanarratives and varying levels of memetics needs some tending to, but I'm not sure how much help I can be here these days.
