  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

      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.
