You haven’t heard as much from them because they are being drowned out by MAGAs. Though, TBF, the overlap between flat earthers and MAGAs is pretty large.

Is flat earth still a thing? I haven’t been hearing as much about it lately but maybe people just stopped caring.
I do wonder how long a movement that can be easily disproven by literally anyone can sustain itself. I mean sure, the true believers will stay but if anyone can go out and confirm the roundness of the earth themselves it makes it a bit tough to keep people who are on the fence…

Don’t forget sovcits. I’m hearing more about them now and less about flat earth.

A friend of mine got into flat earth. He didn’t care about proofs or anything like that. As far as I could tell, he was in it for the community.

All the hype was subsumed by people following cults that actually have an impact on our daily lives.

There’s actually a trip to Antarctica to see the midnight sun funded by globe earthers planned soon. Many flat earthers were invited, but most have chickened out and the rest are hedging their positions with “24 hour sun doesn’t mean anything, even if we see it, it doesn’t matter”.

They moved on to qanon. That’s not even a joke.
