How large is the /lit/ community? How many people are there that

>>8699447
A couple months ago someone posted some stats and I think like 2000 (non unique) or so people came here on average per day with fifty or so accounting for 95% of the posts.

>>8699447
Only you and me

>>8699447
I don't know, but some guy keeps calling me Henry.

>>8699488

Huh it's kind of cool that the stats actually match what it feels like to be on /lit/, one cozy group of pseuds with other people passing through. Despite the harsh words we may have shared, I think I really like you people. Except for that fucker Henry, he can go straight to hell...

We are the 0.025%

I see you're part of the reddit contingent

>>8699447
I don't know about anyone else but I've been browsing other boards for 2-3 years and I have to say /lit/ is so different. It seems to be calm and "normal" compared to other boards.

This place is comfy. Took me 2 years to get here.

Kill yourself you rancid swine

Been here since 2012, and I daily'd it a lot then. I come sporadically now.

>>8699597
You must be old

glad we don't use trips despite being so few

>>8699461
occasionalposter who's part of that extra 5%, checking in.

>>8699679
ok thanks

>>8699557

Actually I'm a boy :/

>>8699597

Definitely. It's the only board I ever use. At first I avoided it, assuming I wouldn't be able to keep up because I haven't read a lot of the books, but it's such a cozy place. The only real sense of "community" in my life.

Plus it motivates me to do good things when I'm not on it--reading and writing.

>>8699569
Why do you hate me? I go to Princeton!

>>8699461
i am ELITE

Seriously, are there any better online communities where you can discuss literature and philosophy? How good is /r/literature?

/occasionalposter/ /dailylurker/ reporting in, 2000 DAU sounds about right.

>>8699597
>I have to say /lit/ is so different. It seems to be calm and "normal" compared to other boards.

Because those who're only able to post memes have nothing to do here. They come here, don't understand shit and go back to /pol/, /b/ or /r9k/.

I can't get out of /lit/

>>8699747
*gropes you*

>>8699748
I have a bf

>How good is /r/literature?

Its reddit, so its really bad.
The problem with other forums and communities is that people never ever get called out on their bullshit so it just degrades into smart sounding nonsense.

Interpretations and propositions become meaningless because they're never really engaged.

>>8699729
Online discussion of literature only works in an unserious small community.

Very few subreddits even have a sense of community (and the literature ones are also pretty pretentious and serious, full of normies who want to read because they think it's good for you (and they generally can't concentrate for more than a page), rather than because they actually need books in their life.

They spend more time talking about the concept of reading than actually talking about specific books and ideas.

>>8699777
>rather than because they actually need books in their life.

Oh fuck off

>>8699761
This is actually a really good point. The ability to be assholes really does lead to more interesting discussion here

What's wrong anon? I'm not saying that you need that to be a good reader, but people more emotionally invested in literature generally do make for more interesting /lit/erature communities.

>>8699789
It really does, the fact I have to keep in mind I may be called a cuck, a retard, a pseud, a nu-male so on for expressing my opinion on Kafka actually makes me want to think it over, and in turn people to read what I say so they might find a way to call me one of those things.

On places like /r/literature all you'll ever get is a pat on the head or a downvote, which is why its actually a dead community (they get like a post a day now)

>>8699461
Another occasional 5% reporting.

>>8699812
Yup, if you don't have a bitter sense of (post)irony, you don't belong here.

>>8699840
I will fix that for you

I just did a quick check on some diagnostics and crunched some numbers: Approximately 4 unique posters have posted on this thread (including me)(.006% margin of error on the calculations of the program I use: Q Salve 17)

>>8700006
>4
>26

>>8700006
4 is the number of images. The unique ips are the third number

I come here exclusively to bully you nerds

Is everyone in this board a fucking fag?

Because that's awesome

I come here everyday but just lurk because I'm no t funny

>>8700067
>implying the rest of /lit/ is funny

>>8700080
valid

>>8700067
You're using /lit/ wrong. You're supposed to constantly posture about how smart you are

>>8700046
I tried to be attracted to men lots of times before because being a homosexual seems much easier in terms of sexual life, but I'll always be more drawn to pussy.

>>8700210
iktf bro

tried going the MtF route but realized foreign hormones didn't react too well with me, psychologically

>>8699461
Where did those numbers come from? What were their methods if they didn't have access to the raw data?

Sounds like a load of crap t bh

>>8700210
I'm actually bi. Which I think is neato

>>8699663
Same here, brother.

I've come here every day since I was born. My mother breastfed me as she shitpost here and now I've put on the gauntlets. You're wondering my name? Nathan. Yes, my mother is dead.
