>>15175896Meta board abandoned by the staff so it turned into an off-topic worksafe shitposting board. It was very heterogeneous culture-wise, despite what people who dislike it say. Around 2020 when soijaks became popular there, lots of crazy things happened
After soijaks became popular and the board started gaining some popularity and infamy as the troll/shitposting board, it was only a matter of time before trannies started ruining everything by bringing politics etc. into the ecosystem. The transphobia was greatly inspired by /tv/. The rest is history.
I will say that /bant/ is very much different from /qa/. Despite bearing the name "random", most of the threads on here are very predictable since it's just a handful of people talking about their lives or whatever. /qa/ wasn't like that, the closest thing it had was doomtranny. I guess the reason so many moved here instead of s4s was because that board is nannied by a retard mod that hates /qa/.
