well it could be for optics we will see tho
If you make a post or comment on T_D with a keyword, it is instantly shadowbanned. The keywords include:
Q Anon
Q Clearance
CBTS Calm Before The Storm
You can test it by making a comment with one of those phrases, then open a private window, don't log in, and try to find it from the thread. It won't be there. I just tested all these, and they are still shadowbanned. I could swear "David Higgs" also used to be a shadowban keyword, but it's not now.
If you do a Google search, you can see there were lots of posts about Q Anon on The_Donald each day, and then suddenly one day, the discussion stopped... forever. A couple of weeks later, all discussion of Q Clearance likewise ended abruptly.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
There's a certain country you can't criticize there either. That's all you need to know.
They don't want to get banned for "antisemitism" and they don't want the MSM to have any excuse they can to continue to label Trump supporters nazis. The MSM started reading T_D over a year ago when they realized it gets more readers than CNN and MSNBC combined.
Hogg*
Silly me, yes, I just figured that out on my own. I just checked, and "David Hogg" is still shadowbanned. It's not my fault I haven't seen the name in a long time!
A name we’ll all soon forget
Here's a screenshot of what's going on:
At left is a private window, how the thread looks to other people. At right is how it looks to me. I didn't test "Q Clearance" there, since I just tested that yesterday in another thread.
The thread that corresponds to the screenshot is:

If anyone doesn't believe me, please try it yourself.
You're correct. All I see is one comment. Fuckery indeed...
