The swastika is associated with a group that waged a major war against many nations and committed genocide and other atrocities. Avoiding it, at least in most contexts, is just good sense these days. "Q" in "QAnon" is associated with a bunch of idiots believing nonsensical conspiracy theories. These aren't quite the same things.

Congrats on Godwin'ing the thread, though.

Giraffe makes a good point. Idiots believing nonsensical conspiracy theories became Nazi's after all. It's a slippery slope. It is completely fair to compare them. Crazy is crazy, regardless of which one is "worse".
So let's stop using the letter Q for systems related to "Q&A" services because some idiots might associate the Q with another group of idiots who have managed to accomplish nothing of value and most people know are idiots? That's idiotic.
