This board is slow as molasses now.
>>25351290I mean yeah it's about a dead medium. People don't read anymore (chicklit and smut and idpol cash grabs don't count).
It's always been slow, but yeah, it's gotten way slower. 4chan in general is on its way out.
>>25351396the popular board about halved in activity since the peak in '21the less popular boards (like lit) quartered
>>25351406Sad to see this place go out like this, really. I was avoiding 4chan during the pandemic for personal reasons but I wish I could've seen /lit/ during the great online period of the world.
>>25351290Regardless I still use it
>>25351290wtf is the webm
>>25351396every board I use is way slower now. I've got some /mu/ threads in my thread watcher that are almost a week old. Unheard of back in the day
>now
such bummer they all have british accents that's wack it;'s actuall;y better without the audio
it really do be like that
>>25351452 @gossip_goblin on twitter
even though it does not
>>25351461/mu/ used to be much faster, agreed. /b/ used to be mind-numbingly fast, especially on weekend nights. Almost more like a chat room than an imageboard. /lit/ was never as fast as /mu/ or /b/, so less of a fall from grace, but the great board slowdown's hit hard everywhere.
>>25351489yeah, I'm relatively new to /lit/, only been reading a lot for about a year so I don't know the old days. I used to use /b/ back in 06 and I remember how psycho fast it was. Last time I checked on /b/ was a few years ago and it was mostly people jacking off to teen girls instagram profiles lmao. It seemed so fuckin bad, truly another world than the boards I still use.But yeah, this sites fall from grace is very real. Less posters in general and a lot of the newfags have just changed the tone so much
>>25351518>Last time I checked on /b/ was a few years ago and it was mostly people jacking off to teen girls instagram profiles lmaothose are the only good threads left on /b/. the rest are degenerate fetish threads full of ugly chicks.
>>25351522lmao, to each their own I guess. My memory of /b/ was back when fucking shoop da woop, chocolate rain, and habbo hotel raid were happening. Looking back on now those memes were so fucking stupid, but they just hit at the time. I watched the 2007 4chan Otakon panel video recently and that shit was so cringe, hard to believe I thought that shit was funny ever. So even though /b/ looks like shit to me now I guess I can't really say it was ever actually good. Just a moment in time.
>>25351396>4chan in general is on its way out.Where are people even leaving to? The Sharty? It somehow became the most popular altchan despite it being the least appealing.>>25351411Activity isn't everything and I think the lockdowns were when a more steep quality decline began on 4chan and most of the internet as normalfags became more online.
>>25351489/mu/ unfortunately has been clogged with kpop spam the last few years. actual discussion plummeted and its either that or memes/inside jokes.
>>25351548>Where are people even leaving to?yeah i've been curious about this too. I've just been going back to forums desu. A few audio production forums with general music subforums have gotten me my fix for talking about music. Any other topic I have no idea, basedjack.party looks like shit to me>>25351555if you use 4chanX:[code]/kpop/i;boards:mu;op:only/k-pop/i;boards:mu;op:only/ive\sthread/i;boards:mu;op:only/SSERAFIM/i;boards:mu;op:only[/code]in the filter>subject section fixed a lot of it for me. But yeah, it's largely just arguments about zoomer vs millennials at this point. The zoomers don't like the millennial /mu/ core shit and the millennials hate the newgen shit. Every thread just turns into that at some point and it's boring
>>25351518Someone made a thread on /b/ in 2006 making fun of my posts on Gaia Online. That's when I started going on 4chan out of curiosity and getting into edgy shit, that thread probably ruined my life by making me more asocial.
>>25351576lmao, im sorry anon.I did google my friends username once and found some Gaia posts he made when he was like 12 and embarrassed the shit out of him with it, not publicly though. Everybody's got cringe Gaia posts from when they were a literal child, can't let that get you too down but I guess we're 20 years too late for that.
>>25351411Pre pandemic lit archives had like 300 threads. Peak pandemic lit archives had like 900. Trust me. It was not a good time. It was so bad that that's the reason the stickied mod thread exists (ignore the posting time, it resets when 4chan is down).Now it's slow because everyone has moved onto r/true lit or r/rsbookclub but we still have some time until manga and fantasy generals become the only threads that get replies
because we are busy reading
>>25351627LOL, LMAO, KEK, KEKIROO EVEN
>>25351555My impression of /mu/ was always that they were high-end hipsters who listened to neutral milk hotel and bass-boosted public bathroom recordings, imagine my disappointment when I finally go there and it's all kpop, taylor swift and top 100 threads.
>>25351290Has the signal/noise ratio changed, though?
>>25351638/mu/ is just another 4chran extension of normiedom. /lit/ is just as bad, with wurldbuilding, litrpg, webnovels and GRRM threads. Every "creative" and media board is inundated with normie shit
