>This isn't literature, this is fucking blogging~ /lit/erati No.9221795, March 10th, 2017
I learned recently that there's a blog thread on /lit/. A real, proper, flesh-and-blood aimless blog thread: the "write what's on your mind" general, which, somewhat surprisingly, somewhat unsuprisingly, encompasses even more that the average blog thread. There's a lot of people describing their general state and and ideas rather than the banana they ate. More meditations and discussions over it, and emotional stuff, but still a lot of regular blogs.
It looks like it has been a thing since at least 2015, being remade anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later:

I don't think that really counts as having a topic.
But furthermore, when reverse-searching some specific terms I learned that there also blog threads in leddit! /r/anime specifically, and they call it the "casual discussion friday thread". They have a link in the sidebar that should send you to the newest one:
