Discussion What internet community were you part of before you joined the soysphere?

[Chairman]

This is actually a genuine great way to experience the internet though.
The internet and its many subcultures can be just as complex as any other real world culture.
I like to call myself an "internet tourist", I'll often look at altchans and forums like stormfront and getchan, learn about the sites history, and experience the user base without actually interacting with the community. It's fun.

How many years roaming the internet, yet never learned what lurking is?

The communities I have been apart of over the years are dependant on my interests at the time and whatever connections I make through already pre-established relationships, that being said, for a few years one would've been Roblox, then Star Wars, then a bunch of other slopshit.
I've also sampled a lot of different image boards, forums and social medias in the past and I honestly prefer forums and imageboards more than the streamline social media format.
Say what you want about Twitter, but I don't like the way it's structure or how you're supposed to communicate with others, where you're sort of left to your own devices and an algorithm picks random things for you to engage with, because you're not engaging with the person or people directly, you're just engaging with their posts and posts/re-posts that they're sharing. It's like a void you scream into awaiting the echo chamber's reply. It's also much more instant and a rapidfire stream of posts and threads and discussions and what not, with shorter more brief replies, which leads to unnuanced casual surface level discussions that don't really amount to anything which is by design.
Look at a random thread from some random forum from over a decade ago and compare it to your typical conversations had in threads on Twitter or ChinkTok. It's night and day.

Yeah I used to browse /pol/ here and there watching shitskin braniggers larp as white aryan nazi übermenschen. Nowadays its a jewish psyop honeypot filled to the brim(stone) with racebait and racemixing fetish brimstone gooner posts (I guess the braniggers showed their true colors)

I browsed subreddits for strategy games like rimworld and paradox interactive games and occasionally shitposting subs like r/guacamoleniggapenis
Other than that I browsed /fit/ /a/ and (only occasionally since it's been hijacked by goyslop spammers) /ck/.

I also didn't really like Reddit, it's like an unholy combination between a forum and a social media without any of the good aspects. They have prefixes that serve as distinctions between posts, sort of like 'different sub-sections of forums', and the comments within the posts are like 'the thread' but it's all very unorganized. You'd be better off making the site exactly like Twitter or Facebook or exactly like a forum, rather than the bullshit they have.
That's not even mentioning the fact that there's no freedom of speech and you can't say what you actually feel without getting nuked off the platform, a lot of the people on that site also pretend to be normal when they really aren't.

I remember him, I used to watch that youtube bunch of lolbreterians. The whole thing was always so void, devoid of substance, just "hey isn't this silly?" stretched into a full length video.
