Effectively, there is no difference between “Q anon Trust Trump’s Plan” threads and “Q Trust Trump’s Plan” threads as you claim. Each of these threads are just continuations of previous threads once they accumulate several thousand posts. And yes, they run concurrently.
New Q threads are started typically once a week or two, not “every few days” as you claim.
The reason such threads exist at all is that the management has made a concession to tolerate Q discussions as long as it primarily occurs within these Q threads. The alternative could be as severe as a total ban, which is contrary to the site’s charter.
That is what I mean by “quarantine”. Maybe “Q firewall” would be a better way to put it.
As someone who joined in 2020, you probably aren’t aware of the history of the Q issue at FR.
