OT: This is the only website I belong to for social posting. What does everyone else surf on.

Same here. I go to T-nation.com as my workout site. Us.imdb, Huff Post, Politico, TheHill, CNN, that’s it.
I read rec.sport.football.college. Almost all politics anymore though. Used to be hilarious. There's a fairly regular poster here I suspect was a former regular there. I never posted there, just lurked.
Can't say for certain, but I suspect a large percentage of the guys on the Test Board hang out on Gab.
Reddit is the best because the people who post nonsense get downvoted and you never see their crap. College football reddit is pretty solid. You get game threads for all the big games and there are genuine college football fans with insights on the actual gameplay. Trolls get downvoted into oblivion, and each poster has "flair" so you know what teams they are fans of.
Why would anyone go anywhere else on the interwebs? We know everything.
ALL. KNOWING. BOARD.

You are right! We have all the answers. However, some of us are not too sure what the question is.Why would anyone go anywhere else on the interwebs? We know everything.

To expand on the reddit discussion I’d encourage using a 3rd party app like Narwhal when browsing on mobile; the official reddit app stinks imo.
Be warned though that it can be incredibly addicting since there’s a subreddit for just about anything and everything.

Yep. Whatever became of Jefferson. The RSFCers were obnoxious after 2011. Still are. Too bad, it was a pretty good forum with a lot of hilarity. There's one guy who seems to be from PA but hates PSU as well. Oh well.
I will say this, RSFC has one of the best trolls in the history of the net. It's almost worth reading but you have to know the history. Started out with a truck accident....LOL. Guy is an all-star troll. MIA

An educated guess would be my neighbor's wife, hook you up?
Well,I do Twitter and Facebook. And because I’m a Phillies fan, I do philaphans.com and Back She Goes — but just to read. I used to do philliesphans, but I can’t stand the smugness. Actually, I think the best Phillies stuff (for phans’ opinions) is our thread.
I also visit the Liar, of course, and I do like Friends of Bob (Smizik). I’m not a Pittsburgh sports fan, but I do like the discourse on there. Very civil.
Another place I go to is Syracusefan for hoops. It’s interesting. Of course, they hate Penn State and think Joe Paterno is a CSA enabler, so there is that. But it’s interesting. There’s a good (and ironic) thread over there right now (or there was; couldn’t locate it after I was done posting this) about Jim Boeheim Should Retire. Haha.
So there you have the real me.
This reddit thing sounds interesting. Maybe I should try that.

Jefferson and many others of the old timers are on Facebook. He’s still living in Alberta still claiming not to be Canadian. There is a Facebook rec.sport.football.college group but it is pretty boring.
There was good trolling there, like how worked up Nebraska fans got when someone suggested Brook Berlinger was a murder suicide. And the fun that ensued when someone cross posted into the soccer or breast feeding newsgroups. Makes me miss the ole psuvm.psu.edu accounts.

I was on there for years and actually met a few of the people. One sent his two kids to PSU and we got to be friends. He's been to my place many times and I to his, met his family and all that. Tailgated with the dude. But yes, it's a different place now. Rarely read it. Barely understand it.
Actually I think Gab is an alternative to Twitter that, according to what I've read (I haven't been there except to look at the front page) that has a higher percentage of crazy posts (like 5% vs Twitter's 2.5%, so twice as many) but that is much less quick than Twitter to ban folks. Maybe there are more are more alt-right posts than on Twitter (there must be because Twitter bans them so fast) but it's not because they cater to all-right per se but rather that they just don't ban so easily, or at least that is my understanding.
Gab was founded because its creator believed that Facebook and Twitter were biased against the far right, and it has catered to far-right users from its inception. There’s no reason to be on Gab if you aren’t a far-right wingnut, a literal Nazi, or a robot, and that’s really not an exaggeration.
How do they cater to the far-right users? I'm genuinely curious since I don't know much about it. I mean, it's basically a Twitter-type of thing, what's there to cater, unless they're banning Lefties but not Righties. If far right people go there a lot then it's content is far right by definition (and I don't know if that's the case but I'll take your word on it) but that's not the same as the site catering to them.
The guy who shot up the synagogue in Pittsburgh was a Gab regular, as an example.
Don't do any significant posting anywhere.I have a profile with LinkedIn and Facebook but don't do much with either.I am on friend face in Great Britain though.
