Anonymity-focused imageboard with diverse boards for varied topics, allowing users to share images and text freely
Erischan is an imageboard and discussion forum that launched in 2016 as a free speech alternative to sites like 4chan. It allows anonymous users to create threads and posts on a variety of topical boards, sharing images, text, and links with one another.
Like 4chan and 8chan, Erischan is based on the principle of ephemerality - threads that are not regularly bumped will eventually be deleted, ensuring new content always surfaces to the top. This creates a fast-paced culture focused on current events and trending topics.
What sets Erischan apart is its commitment to protecting user privacy through anonymity and its open, minimal moderation policies. The site describes itself as an “independent, stable, and expanding imageboard,” open to all speech protected by the United States First Amendment. It has general interest boards as well as niche sections focused on topics like Japanese media, technology, video games, music, and more.
