Quit 4chan because of non-free Java script code (and INANENESS) Are there any image boards that run well with libre JS and is there a way to run 4chan with libre js.

Don't use LibreJS. Just disable JavaScript. LibreJS more often than not breaks websites much more than disabling JavaScript ever could. I use QuickJS: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickjs/?src=api

Another reason not to use LibreJS is it doesn't really solve the problem. I've explained why here:

I don't use 4chan, but as far as I can tell, it works just fine with JavaScript disabled.

It uses the google recaptcha which won't show up with JS disabled. I think... It might be one of my other add ons.

The captcha does not require JavaScript. There is a version that uses JavaScript and a version that does not use JavaScript. The latter loads as long as your browser behaves like one that doesn't support JavaScript. LibreJS doesn't do this; instead it tends to both prevent scripts from running and prevent scriptless fallbacks from working, which is why the result is often broken.

I have not actually tried posting on 4chan, but I've seen that captcha system it uses elsewhere before (on those websites where Cloudflare has blocked access from a Tor node) and gotten past it just fine without enabling JavaScript.

I don't know what exactly is an imageboard, but perhaps using a service
provider that provides a GNU MediaGoblin service can be helpful.

I'm not that active nowadays (I plan to be back), but I use
GoblinRefuge's instance.
