/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.15288955]

I'm so fucking fed up with this shit board full of normalfag tourists and illiterate tradcuck failed normalfags who pretend to read and yet I'm stuck in this shit hole forever because mentioning your hobby in any other alternative image board will get you called a normalfag as the average imageboard user has the attention span of a fucking goldfish and you're barred from participating in their circlejerk unless you're a room temperature iq midwit who lives off anime that appeals to the lowest common denominator. I've really reached the height of frustration, there's mo way to engage in a human discussion anywhere, threads feel more like pissing contests between who LARPs harder and who believes the most in some cuck ideology. This board isn't /lit/, mods should just remove the veil and rename this shit board to /ideology/ or some fucking topic that caters to all the micropenis incels who visit it to talk about absolutely nothing.

Unironically stop spamming buzzwords like a loser. Also, you're not helping.

[Anonymous No.15288983]

I agree.

Perhaps you should create your own futaba-style imageboard dedicated to the arts and humanities?

Imagine the state of the world where a 4channel board "lit" is the sanest place to discuss books.

you could probably avoid the cancer through strict moderation, banning phoneposters, banning particular cookies, and maybe some other form of exclusivity. but i'm not sure how sites get enough users to sustain themselves, much less create an endogenous culture. Many of the alternative chans seem to be able to survive based around a small cluster of topics (eg. LC and programming+tech) and even 4chan was tiny at one point. true, the internet has changed since those days, but there still must be some way. people complain on many interest boards about a lack of quality discussion (/ic/, /mu/, /tv/, /lit/, /his/), so it may be with a big tent of fine arts and humanities you could catch enough people to make it sustainable. and presumably you would already have a culture resistant to the very thing that has been making these boards shit in the first place (i.e. a community which shares primarily a desire to be different than current 4chan). who knows, it would probably fail but it might not.

As these kind fellows have pointed out, you could try reading a book. If you're unsure where to start, try /r/books at >>>/lit/rbooks

Well, how abut we try and do something about it? Make this a general book discussion thread or something. What have you been reading recently?

I've seen all of these alternatives, they either vanish in a couple of months or become new nests of low iq /pol/tards whose only conversation topics are nigger jokes or antagonizing other people. Furthermore i lack any sort of programming skills so the best i can do is creating another board on 9chan or 8kun and hope it doesn't go to shit.

Well aren't you special. Newsflash, everybody here has hate-love relationship with this website, and whining has never improved this place.

yeah me too, that's why i float the idea in these sorts of threads instead of doing it myself. There was an attempt at an offshoot a few years ago call /litpat/ but that didn't last for more than a month.

Where did all the oldfags and classic chan fags leave to? Board culture has been in steep decline last 8-10 years there must be somewhere all those disgraced denizens have scattered to, the Internets not so homogenized small cultures focused around honest discussion can't survive anywhere?

The eternal question. Did they ever exist? And if they did, where did they go to? We shall perhaps never know, only be continually searching for some half grasped, desperate notion that things were better. I wonder what is the truth.

Fucking hell what sites?
I am starved for a site with active and serious literary discussion.
Please please please tell me where.
