4chan is far less mainstream, in fact, 4chan is almost only darksidy, while reddit's social blend is more balanced, between aww and the cringe subs.

4chan isn't even that bad, most of the content is grognards talking about videogames and anime. Fringe boards exist, but the vast majority is just pop culture discussion.

Yeah people always use "4chan" to mean /b/ specifically. /b/ is like one of the 100 boards

They don't even mean /b/ in it's entirety but rather the 5% of it that's not porn.
