Probably reddit before that.
I had a fb account shortly after fb started in 2004, I used it to connect to old friends and coworkers before retiring from my 24 year engineering career a few months later, then I closed it around 2010 because I realized that all was not as it seemed on fb. Same with LinkedIn since my personal business success meant that I would never seek employment again, I really had no use for Linkedin. I didn't trust any social media after that. I was never on reddit or any of the others. VOAT was my very first true endeavor into anonymous free speech social media in 2017 when Jordan Sather's yt channel brought my attention to Q, 4chn, 8chn and VOAT. I wanted to be in that loop so I joined VOAT. I lurked there for about a year before my first post. I remember that period of being allowed only 10 votes a day to upvoat the posts and comments of others. That guy Stonenchisel impressed the hell out of me before he died. I was so sad to see him go, had learned a lot from him. I thought Stonenchisel was one of the most prolific posters on VOAT/v/GreatAwakening. That was about when I really started posting on VOAT. Yes, VOAT was incredible with all the people, knowledge and skill sets working together, a true hivemind. I wish I knew then what I know now! Lol! That would have tempered my Q expectations while on VOAT. They were very exciting times. An education I truly value. Thanks for remembering me from way back then, I'm flattered!
Sorry for the delayed reply, life issues taking up more time these days.
I never did fakebook, was a lowly restaurant worker so no LinkedIn. I lurked reddit and loved the GA subs. I joined right before they banned The_Donald. Went to VOAT, had a blast on the GA subs, especially on QRV. When that went belly-up, I landed at Poal and .win.
StonenChisel was great. So glad his son let us know what happened. Same here on Poal with and his daughter, . :(
There was an 'elder pede', MacwellX on T_D who came home from the hospital and seemed to be doing okay, but was never heard from again. Not sure anyone but me noticed. Kind of sad when people disappear and you're left wondering why.
I went to reddit (which I rarely do, outside of a link to that site), to see if you were there. There was a Lurker17 who was suspended, I apologize for assuming it was you.

Wow! That's news to me! I've never been on reddit except to view links posted here, possibly links posted on VOAT. I thought I was a singularity. Kind of bummed I have/had a doppelganger now. Thanks for letting me know!
Well, a lot of people 'lurk', and if you followed Q, '17' in a user name was common. So, not surprising that Lurker17 was a chosen name at reddit. Wish I could see when and where they posted, but, alas....
Anyways, glad you and not them are here with us.

Free Republic used to be like that too, back in the early days, before the ownership went 100% Neo-con.
I missed out on free republic, I didn't even know about it.
FR was great '97-2001. Once W was elected they started banning all the Pat Buchanon supporters and Paleo-cons.
It's still online, but I haven't posted there in years. Any anti zionist statements will result in a permanent ban.
