I understand your frustrations, and I am right there beside you.  My personal
opinon has been this:  If I start to see people spewing non-sense conspiracy
theories and Q-anon crap, I'll call them out for it and if the network
(whatever one that may be) doesn't take action then I'll leave it.

Many folks I know are to the point they are tired of being nice about stuff
like this.  I personally am to that point as well.

I would hope that any network that wants to be viable in this day and age
would have rules in place for dealing with nonsense such as this, or the
community itself would come together and say "No way, buddy, not on this
network".

In the end, I firmly believe it is up to each and every one of us to put down
this behaviour, rhetoric and nonsense.  Just as it is up to every one of us to
put down racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.  I'll be damned if I am afraid of
some nutjob in his mom's basement spewing his Q-Anon crap and I have no
problem whatsoever on calling them out on it.
