/lit/ - Literature

>>14412586
The new decade awaits, Anon. Do not be left behind with the boomer rabble.

>>14412659
If I am left behind, it is a result of my active pursuit of literature that only seems to occur in the past, but my own experience in all this is fairly irrelevant. What is more interesting is the shift itself, and what the possible reasons for it might be. Rather, what is potent enough an incentive for people of this sort to invade such an inveterately mild board? Also, how might one use this influence to afford this mass of nitwits a bit of literary guidance that benefits them, attenuates this fear and ignorance, and even induces a sort of migration from those hovels of foolishness they tend to inhabit? Can they be subsumed and subsequently enriched by literary sublimation? Or is there insufficient influence in /lit/ to instill inhibition of iniquity?

reddit roasties advertise this site in their cesspit is my guess

/lit/'s content (memes, ideas, books) is becoming more and more popular among the wide audience (partially thanks to /pol/). You can see references everywhere, even if they don't name the board. And more popularity leads to more newfags. At this point we have /tv/-tier forced memes.

>>14413624
Nah, there is no advertising, and in fact reddit's dominant culture despises /lit/. The concealed alt-right side of the site however is very naturally attracted to this board.

>>14412586
/lit/ becomes more shit than usual every now and then.

>>14412586
I have noticed a huge influx onto /lit/, /ck/ and /tv/ (worse than normal even on /tv/) of this rubbish. Thinly veiled tripe of the "Any good books about..." variety, with blstsntly ubreksted/pornographic OP post cs and no discussion. /ck/, which is usually alright for this stuff, is being overwhelmed because it is a slow board. Even if we can't do anything about it, don't worry OP, you aren't going crazy and it is real. Ignore them until they fuck off

>>14414280
No, you post misinformation that screws up data mining horrendously.

>>14414280
>you post misinformation that screws up data mining horrendously
That is an incredibly based thing to do though

/fit/ crossboarder here a lot of us keep getting "who here /fitlit/" spammed so I came to check things out and it seems most of you are smug retards masquerading as intellectuals

>>14414290
Good. Now get lost

>>14414290
>>14414309
WE WERE ONCE THE SAME!

>>14414280
well, I knew I wasn't crazy, just was curious about the catalyst. I have seen such invasions occur on occasion, but had never been able to determine what attracted the tourists. My best guess is the proliferation of the top 100, it's often one of the only things this board is capable of contributing that makes any sort of ripples.

The 2020 U.S. elections. 4chan has become fully coopted by the conservative propaganda machine by various interests. Its role is to crowdsource the generation of fake news narratives to be turned into content that is then pushed on facebook, reddit, and other social media.
Notice how many threads there are now that try to push conflict, such as X philosopher vs. Y philosopher, how such and such genre is for "bad people" or whatever. It's not entirely artificial but the fans are being flamed by paid agents to encourage the meme machine.

>>14412745
These are really compelling questions. You put very well how reading and writing can improve people, maybe save many of them. God bless you, Anon.

>>14414834
Seeing you guys react to people disagreeing with you with conspiracies about propaganda campaigns is hilarious. You're actually so used to your platforms censoring these opinions that when you see them the only conclusion you can draw is that it's some conspiracy.

>>14412586
The board has always been shit

>>14414870
I disagree.

>>14412586
I came here from /pol/. My home board was fully co-opted by boomers for Trump.

Trump is literally Zionist Israel Firster. We might as well have elected Ben Shapiro president, and a big part of /pol/ unironically still shills for Trump.

Why here instead of some other board? I have no interest in any other board but /g/ and that board is generally insufferable. Tech is surprisingly more pozzed than lit. I'm here to anonymously argue about ideas without constraints. The Overton window does not exist on 4chan. There are no mechanisms for peer pressure. There is no hivemind to down vote wrong think out of view and mods never step in unless there is an egregious violation of the rules. There are no grandstanding assholes trying to virtue signal for the maximum amount of exposure. There are no e-thots pretending their social media presence is intellectual when really it's an avenue to get attention via jiggling around on camera. There is very little id-pol nonsense when everyone is anonymous.

This place is effectively the anti-reddit or the anti-twitter, and that's the draw. Online discussions without the Orwellian extras.

I'll go back when the boomers leave. So 2024 or removal from office, whatever happens first.

>He thinks there will be a return to some imaginary normalcy.
The internet is over, death by normie invasion due to social media and smartphone culture (same thing.) Where the normies go, the politicians follow, and politics ruins absolutely fucking everything it touches. It will only get worse.

>>14412745
They are too many now

Damn the il/lit/erates. Next thing we'll have people posting "lol didn't read".

>>14416356
See one, do one, teach one.

>>14416450
how do you teach those unwilling to learn?

>>14416798
You don't. Also there is an extremely high change that 4chan is bought and paid for by extreme right-wing interests, or is at least sympathetic to them. Nazi trolls are allowed to break the rules with impunity. This is a completely hostile environment, only useful for learning about such hostile environments.

>extreme right-wing interests
Oh no, how extreme?
