I was there days before /qa/ got closed. I remember baiting /qa/soils with Pepe blogposts and reading yet another spadecuck thread. It was funny, I had many hearty laughs, but they all went away. My understanding of /qa/ is limited, but it was liberating for what it was. Nothing on 4chan could ever compete with it. A playground where many movements and schizos competed in a game of getting as many (You)s as possible, but it wasn't as desolate as /soy/ is. /qa/ joons didn't interact with anyone and make cults of personality, /qa/soils were on their own, painting this blank Yotsuba B canvas.
And now it's just a burning memory.
