When I found GAW, it was in early 2021 or late 2020. I was scared to death due to the stolen election and the J6 false flag. I was just beginning to listen to X22 Report and And We Know. I started reading Q in late summer of 2020 and had a handle on the whole operation, but I was still very scared. Unfortunately, I missed out on Voat. Reading GAW gave me more perspective on the battles we are fighting, and some valuable information. Since then, my relationship with God has become much stronger, I discovered the Devolution series and Righteous Russia, leading me to following Badlands Media (which is absolutely worth checking out, if you haven't already). Watching things slowly fall apart for the "cabal" has instilled hope for me, and I'm prepared to see another election stolen - but this time I will be at peace knowing that the declas operation is at play. The conversion of Twitter to X has been a great example of how they are losing this war. Having said that...
When I first was on GAW, there were posts that had updoots in the high hundreds and some in the low thousand. I've noticed traffic here slowing down quite a bit. I think X and Truth Social have something to do with that, but I also think that many, like myself, have moved onto larger non-Q oriented conspiracy topics, some of which could get you in trouble on GAW. I think people have gotten weary of waiting for this movie to end. I still check GAW a few times a day, but not with the same enthusiasm. I don't think I'm alone.
I do want to say that GAW has been my saving grace (literally), and when this all starts to accelerate, I hope people come back here to share information and support each other. Thank you so much for being there for me.
Yeah, that is a good description of what happened to my original GAW account, for example. In response to the last ban, I simply switched over to TS and X and did not look back (it was nothing to do with a weird topic - it was literally for disagreeing with a mod's post).
I recently started this new GAW account, but it is a distant 3rd place... which is the opposite of how it was before I was driven to look elsewhere.
Driving people away with the "Officer Cartman" mod bullshit creates a downward spiral of less content, giving people less of a reason to bother checking GAW... the mods might want to learn from those mistakes and not repeat them going forward.
Whatever. It does not matter that much anymore, to be honest. X and TS are both pretty good.
In light of your subsequent prioritization of ex-twitter, what do you think of the conspiracy theory that dubious bans from GAW are nudges towards the larger digital battlefield?
If that was their objective - it certainly worked very well.
These days GAW is basically an aggregator of posts on X and TS, which is why I skim it once in a while... sometimes I see some things from people I don't follow myself, etc.
So from that perspective, it is useful.
