I was an excited crystal.cafe user when it first launched spinning out of lolcow.farm's /g/ – I was excited just to interact with other women anonymously without the baggage of the surrounding toxicity, and it genuinely began as an extremely cozy imageboard. Haven't been on it in forever, though. Last I checked, place was in shambles, full of bad attempts at bait and looking to become an r/gendercritical parallel, which made me wish I never posted there at all.
I use lainchan consistently. Also always visit 4/vp/ every time a new mainline Pokemon game comes out because it is honest to god peak hilarity every single time.
>>21011For what it's worth, I still think evaluating wiz and cc as a sample of the bottom of the barrel is misguided. You are researching imageboard users with a strong attachment to their gender. It might be interesting to see what you identify as "the bottom of the barrel" on 'normie' websites and compare their userbases.

I use 22chan almost primarily, pretty comfy and the people are friendy. Heavily moderated but it's not like their trigger happy to ban people, only blatant rule breakers/cp, porn and shit.
A bunch of ex users raided the site, and activity slowed down and now things are picking up again. i hope that board stays alive for a long time.

I hope to make the answer to this "None." Imageboards, in fact all social media, can provide very little of value except a waste of time and very mediocre entertainment. I think I used them because i'm lonely, but there has to be better ways than actively decreasing my quality of life by browsing sites filled with nothing but shit opinions and people spamming the same things over and over.

I've used tons over the years. Right now I visit a few: Uboachan, Sushi, Zzzchan, Endchan, Lainchan, 4chan. Any others are visited very sporadically. I do like that they all have unique cultures, although I have begun to use imageboards less and less over time. There was… one imageboard I had used for years but left permanently as of recent because of some major revelations I had, mainly that it was an extremely toxic, cult-like place filled with close-minded, unhelpful people. Even though me leaving felt horrible (And I still feel bad sometimes), it was incredibly illuminating and has opened up my life to all kinds of new experiences…
Imageboards are incredibly cold places. Even in tight-knit communities people are still paranoid and hostile towards each other over incredibly petty things, and drama runs rampant, if you have any "wrong" opinions people pile on top of you and start labeling you all sorts of things. Its off putting to any potential new users and makes frequent users afraid to voice their thoughts and question things. It kills the site.
4chan honestly feels nice for hobby boards. There is A LOT of whining on other imageboards that 4chan is dead, its filled with "normalfags", etc. I've come to learn that they're all just idiots and that 4chan is just fine. Its an ever-changing place used by tens, if not hundreds of millions of people across the world. "Anonymous/Imageboard culture" is whatever people make it, and those who try to dictate its growth or try to control it are bound to be disappointed.
