Comparing posts on Parler, Twitter, and Gab about QAnon

Comparing the Language of QAnon-related content on Parler, Gab, and Twitter

We investigate the prevalence of anti-social language, hate speech, or conspiracy theory content on the social media platform parler, which was taken offline in 2021 due to the lack of moderation of hateful and qanon-and other conspiracy-related content that allegedly made it instrumental in the storming of the us capitol on january 6.

We find that posts with the hashtag #qanon on the platform emerge as the platform with the highest average toxicity of the posts, though this largely stems from the distinctive way hashtags are used on this platform.

On all three platforms, posts mentioning female political figures, democrats, or donald trump have more anti-social language than posts mentioning male politicians, republicans, or joe biden.

Gab has the highest proportion of #qanonposts with hate terms, and parler and twitter are similar in this respect.

An analysis of entities mentioned in posts revealed differences in content-with twitter posts mentioning prominent figures related to qanon, while parler and gab posts mention entities relatedto conspiracies.
