How much time do you spend on Lit?

I've been on lit for more years than I care to admit and have noticed the way that I interact and play here has changed over the years. Like many people, I can go months without logging in or posting but recently I've had an abundance of time on my hands and have spent more time logged in and interacting.

I've discovered there's a number of people who spend a good portion of their day logged in here. Are you one of them? Or are you more of an infrequent poster?

What do your lit habits look like?
And have they changed over time?
 
I spend a lot of time here if I have the time. After work during the week and most of the day off and on during the weekends. I mostly surf the threads on the playground, post if I feel like it. I check for messages throughout the day (generally dont have any) and thats basically it. Sometimes all I do is refresh to see if anybody replied.
 
I don’t spend enough time here. If I did, I would be able to keep up with the Chaos thread and I would know more gossip.

Maybe somebody could start a thread called “What Amber needs to know”. People could then post the highlights so I could catch up on everything at my leisure
Lol. I feel you!

I'm so freaking oblivious to so much of that goes on. We need a digest of the daily happenings or something.

Clowns used to be good for curating those conversations.

How do you find the new notification structure?

I turned off notifications to have as close as experience to the old forum at possible. Notifications certainly played a part in to me getting stuck here at times. So away they went!

It needs somebody with a lot of time on their hands so they can trawl through all the posts and provide a hourly update

I've adjusted to things just fine. It too a little bit, but I tend to adapt to new systems swiftly. My history has shown that when I have a full and busy life IRL, Lit takes a back burner, I can spend months or years not being here.

It's only when my life is empty that I spend time here, putting up with this place.
 
I feel like this is true for many people and you're definitely not alone.

The pandemic did seem to change the cadence and the way people interact here, don't you think?
*gives you a bland look* People always cyber fucked each others brains out, kept secrets, blackmailed and stabbed each other in the back.
Now? The only real difference is that people are openly hostile toward each other and groups of others.

True
I was more thinking about the number of people spending hours a day every day. Before the world shut down there were fewer people on lit because they were offline doing offline things. Add we were forced inside, we were forced online.

But to the hostility: I hear ya. I can't stand it. It's gross. The name calling. The spatting. And for what???
 
When covid steered me into Lit while everything was closing up around me, I spent a lot of time on Lit. Now I may be logged in quite a bit still but less of that time is spent interacting and the bulk of it is being idle while surfing whatever comes to mind on the net and then popping in and out of the threads.
 
I’m on here for a few minutes at a time a few times a day now, sometimes being absent for a day or more. This is working out a lot better than my first few years of being on the Lit boards every day for several hours. Less time here with a growing ignore list makes it less aggravating.
 
I like the notifications because it reminds me of which threads I have said something stupid on which makes it easier to go back and double down on it. Otherwise I’m like,”wtf was the name of that thread?”

And even when I’m here, I’m usually doing something else. So I’m really not tracking what’s going on. As in, I almost missed all the side boob apron pics except for a friendly dicks-up pm.

Lit friends, bless their perverted little twats.

You didn’t call it a little twat last time 😉

I spend time on LIT in waves. Often finding myself engaged in dialogue with 1 or 2 people for more lengthy conversations.
