    Nah, they use "anons" to refer to themselves as followers of Q but they're not related to the original Anonymous. They're mostly boomers who don't even know how to get onto 8chan.kun to read the original Q posts they're so computer illiterate. They instead rely on various grifters like Praying Medic or PoliceChief2 who "decode" the Q drops in various forums (twitter, patreon, podcasts, etc). This is why there's such a massive range of beliefs filed under "Qanon" because these "decoders" push various things that they personally care about or see as easy grifting. PrayingMedic pushes a religious interpretation and feeds the narrative that Trump is working for God against the deepstate. PoliceChief2 claims to have insider info about secret executions and sells a regularly updated list of celebrities who are executed via his Patreon.

    Anonymous the group actually have a weird feud with Qanon as they claim that Q is a project designed specifically to discredit them and have posted evidence to this effect. I've never looked much into that though.
