>>673848I only lurked /qa/ during the soyjack era. I've been lurking 4chan around 2014-2015 because it felt like the global online village with flags every tech shill promised me. And came back around 2019 when I regularily browsed reddit, wykop and Polish altchans, but I don't remember which boards I used then.
I remember my pipeline could be like:
/int/ -> /pol/ -> /bant/ -> /qa/ -> soyjack websites
I unironically used /pol/ to browse global news like covid, amerimutt elections or war in Ukraine before realizing that it was a bait-ridden, extremely addicting place with people who believe in magic.
