This place is dead. Less than 10% of the threads currently up are about literature, fiction, writing or writers. Other threads are mostly about: a) being a loser (tranny, manlet, NEET, depression, etc); b) religion bullshit; c) Guénon stupidity; and d) metathreads like this one.

Can /lit/ change or it's over? /tv/, /v/, /mu/, /fit/ and other boards might be terrible but at least they don't let their own subject matter aside. What's up with that?

A new board won't cut it. It's fine to discuss philosophy here, but people are literal spergs who can't stop guenonposting, ellulposting and christcucking. We need a new site, text based, no images, no tripcodes, with enforced general for some key authors.

lit is a playground for narcissistic pseuds that desperately need to feel intelligent. it doesn't matter what you read, they will find some way to call you out on it, and feel superior in doing so. all lists you write will be pleb tier, all suggestions you give, pathetic.

Notice that the above isn't just lit. It's book fags in general. They can't just let you talk about a book you enjoyed. They have a psychological tick, much like tourettes, where they must interject not only their opinion but heap scorn upon any who dare to claim knowledge on their subject of choice. But /lit/ is pretty much the worst. They don't like anything, and they don't want you to like anything. That is why /lit/ is dead, and why anything like /lit/ will never work. Too many arrogant losers in one place.

This is absolutely true. Everything is plebby, shitty, midwit, for noobs, for normies, for basedboys, for literal kids, for jews, for blacks, for third worlders, for europeans, for americucks, for africans, for pajeets, for chinks, for the mentally disabled, for dyels, for manlets, for braindead, for oversocialized leftists, for incels, for fucking low iq, for huge iq, for midwit iq, for philosophical zombies, for zoomers, for coomers, for doomers. God I've come to hate /lit/ so much.

You can do it anon, I believe in you. Just remember to look up strategies (ex. Cognitive Behavior Therapy, anapanasati (the first two steps), etc.) to further reinforce your decision, you don't need to rely on willpower alone. With enough defensive measures in your pocket you can overcome anything, happy new year.

Where else can I go? I have wanted to leave 4chan for years. There is no better place to banter about literature. Maybe the problem is the banter itself. Maybe I need to grow up and cut shitposts and banter out of my life.
