petrarchan is pretty nice actually, hopefully it manages to pull in a decent number of the old /lit/crowd

>>721 looks ugly, like a website from 1993. >>739 it certainly won't pull me in.

DFW ai slop poster here.

>>736 Anon, the current top thread beneath the stickies on lainchan's /lit/ is from 2020 and has 50 posts. From a casual glance the content seems okay but it is absolutely dead.

>>807 I think the problem is that Goodreads exists, a social network based around books and nothing else. Imageboards are websites for weirdos who may or not be into books. It's amazing how there's anyone interested in them. At least we don't read those Meta Reels smut.

>>685 (OP) I wasn’t a regular in /lit/ but I started reading a pretty fun book recently and it never occurred to me I should go to /lit/ to see if anyone else has read it and talk about it. It’s gone now obviously so I came here to try my luck but it doesn’t seem like there much prospect here. Sad…

Should we start a book club here to give some life to this board? Fiction or nonfiction, let's just pick something and stick to it!

>>818 Eh, I don't get the impression that Goodreads really poached many people who would otherwise use /lit/ exclusively. It's a horrible, horrible site, nobody comfortable in the 4chan format would willingly move to one where everyone is so blatantly fellating themselves and posturing. You can call /lit/ posters pretentious faggots all you want but they won't denigrate classics for upvotes. If 4chan disappearing didn't breathe life into lainchan, nothing will. This place seems to be the liveliest alt for now. The best thing that's come out of the whole crisis seems to be all the election kiddies who thought 4chan was about screaming nigger nigger nigger and Freudian obsessions with everybody being hidden trannies now think that the sharty is le ebin based for bringing it down and have sequestered themselves there. Maybe they're all on discord or tiktok or something, but they don't seem to have followed anyone to 8chan, petrarchan, etc.

>>706 >unironic tranny cuck board No wonder everything smells like shit

>>823 Sorry to say but if anything this place is exactly like that. It seems to be where a lot of people who were dissatisfied with the reddit-lite site 4chan became in recent years have moved to. Funnily enough, pretty much everyone is pretty chill and I’ve seen actual discussion transpiring regardless, so it ends up working out anyway with the lack of bots and jeets infesting the place.

yes. I miss my /lit/, I hope this place catches on

>>825 It's more that I think the election tourists who specifically took to 4chan because they thought he was the biggest, edgiest kid on the playground are now going to the sharty because it gave 4chan a black eye. But who knows, really - it's only been a few days. I think I can live with this place and petrarchan for now. The admin there is trying to use his increased traffic positively by making a new online lit mag and I'm thinking about helping him with that.

I'm not dead yet. I am mostly a /lit/ lurker thoughbeit. I have a feeling a lot of the board consisted of lurkers. Hopefully most people eventually find their way over here. >>712 >altchan posting stats https://marge.moe/ >list of altchans https://wiki.soyjak.st/List_of_imageboards

>>847 >that pic you seem familiar somehow…

>>849 I don't remember where I saved it from. Perhaps /int/ or /r9k/.

>>852 ah, probably have you confused then kek

>>845 Days last an eternity in internet time. Nowadays, a meme gets invented on TikTok, gets so forced for a day or two and then dies before the end of the week. You underestimate how quickly zoomers can just move on, shit, there are alphies on chans already. >>852 maybe /tg/. Fatguys always had borderline lewd pics posted regularly.

>>858 True stuff, their attention spans have been absolutely crippled for over a decade now,

>>859 I think the shorter attention span is an evolutionary adaptation to life being dangerously shit for the last few decades. If you stop and think, you just get depressed, at least in the West and Wstern-aligned countries. We were brought up to believe being calm, steady and literate is the way to go, but young people now see how wrong we were. You need to be active, hyper even, in order to make it these days. There's a reason kids today want to be influencers and e-whores. They realized from young age that being a nerd won't really get you anywhere in life. They aren't so stupid. They know that legacy media stars are industry plants and nepo babies. They know the good positions are reserved for the established families. If the game of life is rigged, why take it seriously?

>>699 > I’m in one “official /lit/ discord” and another book club server but both are quite dead/circlejerky There's your problem. Discord is for zoomers and trannies.

>>721 shit board

>>724 The best thread.

>>724 >>870 What’s that?

I want smut and smut resources

>>873 I forget the artist but I love this girl

>>873 read fanfics https://archiveofourown.org/works/992242/chapters/1960367

>>872 If you have to ask, you don't need to know.

>>903 >le sekrit klub Very true in a way.

And so we fled to the four winds

4chan is apparently returning soon to whom it may concern.

>>963 How SOON is soon?

>>967 2 weeks

>>967 Sadly it’s look like an actual 2 more weeks (unironically) minimum. They are working on it though, so a complete shut down is unlikely at this point at least.

Chan is back people. See you over there

I'm here.

>>996 Nah, fuck em
