Even though it's not fully a txtboard, this is unironically true. I tried using it for a while because I like their philosophy of forbidding 2010s+ topics & encouraging OC. Since every site these days always gets overrun with the same shallow nigger this, tranny that. Most of them really are underage and some have even posted nudes, but they never get perm banned, they're told to just not explicitly state their age in the posts. They hang out in the chatroom all day linking to each others sites, sorta like what >>2 said.
Once someone started dumping tons of medical journals of "legal" cp, I gave up.

The whole concept of image/text boards is so niche. Any that last more than a few years become quite well known because no one who isn't already familiar with them likes or understands the point of them.

I've seen many tiktok children posting about 4chan, asking "i dont get it, its ugly, how do i use it" purely because it has this big spooky reputation as some dark-web adjacent website.

IMO the closest thing to a new audience these sites can get are the kids who are into neocities,spacehey,nekoweb old internet larp sites. But while they like the aesthetic of "old web", they'll mostly always have a link their discord,(or eqiv) to have a real instant msg conversation.
