How much of your enjoyment of Lit has to do with your interaction with other Litsters? Could you happily post without much direct interaction? Do you have the best fun when your core groups is all here? What kind of interaction is the most enjoyable for you?

I've had some great interactions with Litsters. There are more where we kind of pass like ships in the night, might wave a hello or give a reaction but don't really talk.

But if I needed it, I wouldn't be here.

It's the creme in the coffee. Nice when it's there, but not around as often as I might like (which is 100% on me, to be fair). Lit is the metaphorical wall I throw things at. I don't really care if they stick, I just seem to keep throwing them because I can.

I can recall there was a time when that was all that mattered was interacting with my litster pals. Quite a few have moved on over the years. It gets harder to relate as time goes by with those few litster friends that are left. And frankly, no one even notices I am gone any more or notices when I return after a spell. I have evolved my presence on the forum. I like visiting with people. It's definitely not what it used to be. I've learned to be okay with that. In the end, like me, love me, hate me, I still feel like I have a home here. Under that rock by the edge of the front porch maybe.

My answer is very much aligned with Rainshine’s - except that it has never bothered me to be an outlier.

My time spent here varies and I’m perfectly fine with very little direct interaction on the boards. I spend far more quality time off the boards interacting with those close to me…and I appreciate those conversations more than anything.

All of my enjoyment is related to interactions, in some form, with other litsters. I struggle to understand otherwise. I don't see frequenting a forum designed for an online community to interact through discussion on boards and not finding enjoyment there via interacting. As for a core group, I don't have one. I prefer certain sub forums, so I have topic and interaction style preferences, but I enjoy variety. My preferred interaction approach varies quite a bit based on mood, mindset, and what is happening here. It would probably be easier to categorize my least preferred.

I would like to answer this one.

Sporadically over the years I have actually had a handful of people that II enjoyed posting with, who made an effort to respond to me and interact with me. Never very many and not for long and with long periods in-between. I've felt very ignored and rejected over the years.
Also I am not a normal human being, so the things I say or the way I say them can set people off, even if they are saintly.

I love it when people engage me in intellectual conjecture and deep dives into weird subjects. I also enjoy banter and back and forth jokes, as long as it doesn't get too cruel or crude. I enjoy flirting, but that happens never. It would be nice for these things to happen again.

Thanks for letting me participate PLP.

I'm mixed about this I can spend weeks just in SRP threads with no interaction besides my writing partner, other times I will post smutty pics and then there are times where I will delve into the playground. I've been hesitant to head to the BDSM threads because after losing my M it just feels like it would be disrespectful to him and I'm not ready to dip my toes into that realm of life again.

I don't have a set group of people I prefer to talk to, I will gab to anyone about anything I have some knowledge on or none at all. But I do prefer to keep things to the boards I'm not huge on PMs unless it really interests me.

It really depends on my mood and time restraints. I have found I like a balance of interacting with people in the threads but whenever I post I am not expecting a direct response unless I've tagged someone.

Sometimes it'll be checking in on my fave threads and saying a quick hi to people, or it'll be a longer visit where I can explore different areas of the board a bit.

I prefer to be on the public board and there's no expectation of response on my part but my friends are in my PMs, so if I do want a more personal interaction I will turn to them

Maybe half. I can happily post without direct interaction and I often have over the years, times when I was just flitting in and out as the mood struck me. I wouldn't say I have a core group - there are definitely people I've been closer too and shared more with. Light, funny, sensual interactions are my favorite, with occasional dashes of pure, hot sexuality.

Everyone's answers have been super interesting!


I think this has changed a lot for me in the 4 ish years I've been here. I had a group of friends that felt very core to my interaction. We were never excluding but the humor snd flow was just amazing. We got each other and it was the most fun when we were all here. For many, reasons people fall away or get busy and it's not the same, or at least not as often the same. Part of that, I think, is me just losing my social way a bit these past pandemic years. I'm hesitant to interact with people because I don't want them to think I can always keep up the same level of interaction. I also don't have as much time here ad a lot of people.

So sometimes it is nice just to come shout into the void, post some filthy pictures, or post stalk a few of my friends. And sometimes, when I'm feeling very social butterfly, I regret that I can't just reach out to Indie and say come in let's go be silly or post a challenge in the audio thread.

Ok notw I'm m just pouting. New question anyone?

How had the update changed the way you Lit? Has it changed at all? Have you found or been pointed to new threads? Sent or received more or fewer PMs? Still hate it or have you seen the light?

Same! I’m still trying to figure out how to negotiate boundaries with this.

Well, I mostly Lit on my phone. Where I can no longer see who the last person who posted in a thread was. Which makes it a lot harder to follow my favorites around and see what they have to say. Or easy to miss them if they post in a thread I don't check.

So mostly I just don't click on much of anything unless I have something to say in it. And probably miss out on a lot of interesting conversations or points from people I otherwise might have seen.

PMs. I get maybe 2 a week, if that. A few good friends that might check in every now and then. Or who I haven't heard from and reach out towards. It's kind of a wasted feature for me. Always has been. I'm curious how those of you who PM a lot are dealing with the new style, as it seems to have undergone the most changes of features I've noticed.

I mostly like it. They layout is nicer, and things actually seem to work most of the time. I've run into one repeated bug with the quote function where it just errors out and won't let me post anything, no matter if I refresh the page or re-enter the response. I just take that as a sign that it wasn't to be just then. I don't really miss the old Lit, save for the not seeing the last poster in the thread on my phone.

Just a hint.

I Lit on my cellphone. If you do the drop down (like where you'd open a new tab etc) and select Desktop Site. You get all that functionality back. You may have to pull snd zoom sometimes but I had to do that on the old Lit. Last posted was a huge thing for me too.

If you "follow" people and then go to your News Feed (under What's New), you can see what people you follow have been doing... unless they have that function turned off.

Overall, it hasn't changed much for me. I interact a bit more given the reaction button lets me react to things I wouldn't/couldn't before. I no longer have to constantly delete pms. In theory, I could use the pms to refresh my memory on why I am siding eyeing someone when they pm me again, but without a search or filter, that is not happening. I am not a fan of linking imgur now and not being able to use the other size options. Overall though, it is mostly the same, but without my box being full and having reaction buttons.

As for finding new threads, no. The similar threads section is always ancient, so it is completely useless. Right now, three of the five are well over a decade old, and the two others aren't remotely recent.

This is awesome. Particularly for those, like me, who are tech challenged. Thank you!

I don't mind it and it's not really changed the way I interact with the site. I like the way you can have one thread for PMs so you don't need to delete some if box gets full. I've actually received less PMs since the update.

I generally like the changes. I use the reactions a lot and pay attention to the reactions I get. If I see someone's reacted a lot to my posts, it makes me a lot less nervous about PM'ing them. I've made a couple new friends recently just because there's been that low-risk interaction of the reactions first.

I like it. The reactions are useful—I’d add a couple more—a sticking out my tongue one, a flame…but I love emojis so that’s just me.

I’m always on my phone so I echo everyone else about not being able to see who posted last (unless I turn my phone on it’s side.)

PMs are a lot better. Much easier to hold a conversation.

Overall I like the changes.

I like it because I find it far more user friendly on mobile (especially PMs), but I'm a part-time Litster so I am not terribly interactive/present regardless. I do think it's helped me find threads I wouldn't have discovered before, so there's that.

 

[Dribble]

I dislike it. Don't get me wrong...there are some improvements...but as a whole...those improvements do not outweigh the negatives. I am here a lot less because of the negatives but I really don't miss it. Basically, it is much harder to randomly cruise threads and quickly identify posts of people I deem worthy on a phone.

Just in general I like the new design. The old design was very clunky, even though I was attached to it. I don’t know if it’s changed my thread behavior, do I like the like buttons. I am doing more PMs because I find the new features more conducive to it. Overall I gave it a thumbs up.

 

[AveryElle]

Not that I have people on ignore ever, because I am a completely tolerant and not in any sense dismissive and judgemental person, but it seems that if the last poster on a thread is someone on your ignore list, the thread itself vanishes too?

No, it shows up. Their post just says you have them on ignore when you click.
