  None of those are imageboards

    They are imageboards. Just because their layout is slicker than imageboards used to look like 25 years ago doesn't make them not imageboards

      By that definition sure they are, but that’s a really odd definition which would include basically all internet websites with some forum-esque component and images, including Lemmy and Reddit and twitter.

      I would use the “List of imageboard” from this article instead: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard

      But it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I’ll hear you out if you care to elaborate though.

        Tell that to all the text that comprises most content in every board. Calling it more of an imageboard than sites that devote almost-all of every page to images is backwards. 4chan is a forum or BBS-minus-dial-in with delusions of grandeur.

        Hah I meant Instagram and Pinterest, obviously 4chan is an imageboard

  The biggest image board is Instagram or Pinterest or some site like that.

  this is like saying a hovercraft is a car because it’s a personal transportation vehicle.

    If it's such a clear disparity then explain to me how Pinterest isn't an imageboard?

      First off, there’s no anonymous posting, and barely any anonymous reading

        Lol “4chan is the biggest website out of all the websites identical to 4chan”

        That has nothing to do with whether a site is an imageboard. Obviously there are a zillion differences between 4chan and Pinterest, but none that make Pinterest not an image board
