What happened to Anonymous? Why at this time they are not doxxing websites, leaking stuff, or shutting down porn websites? (lemmy.world)

I think their direction has gone astray mixed with losing general interest mixed with aging mixed with getting caught. I think Anonymous now has just turned into a parody of itself thanks for 4chan (yeah I know it was born there) who turned it into a symbol of just shitposting trolling than doing the right things.

They used to have been prominent during the days when SOPA and PIPA had been brought up. Since then, activity has dwindled.
