What are these non-mainstream social media platforms you speak of?  I thought most people had moved to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  I didn't think  others such as MySpace, LiveJournal, Orkut, and others were used much anymore.

 SA> Also off topic, but when did Sync add the up and down votes on messages?
 SA> Very nice, reminds me of Reddit ;-)

From what I remember, that was added in late 2016 for Synchronet 3.17.  And in addition to upvoting and downvoting, Synchronet also supports polls that people can vote on.
