I'll tell you what I know about both. I've been active on 4chan since 2007 or so, and I spent a lot of time on 8chan after the Gamergate exodus from 4chan. 8chan is a very questionable site. The original owner instituted a program called Sunshine, which monitors and tracks all user activity there. He did this at the behest of law enforcement, after a school shooting threat was posted to the /pol/ board. To my knowledge, the program is still active. However, that owner was ousted by the current owner of 2chan, an 8chan backer who is reputed to have DDOSed 8chan until full control was given over to him. He reportedly obtained ownership of 2chan in the same way. 2chan is the Japanese language chan, the OG granddaddy of chans and the inspiration for 4chan. This chan stealing faggot is known as Jim, a pig farmer that lives in the Philippines. I doubt it would surprise you to learn he's a Jew.

So where does that leave 4chan? 4chan is owned by the founder of 2chan, who was ousted by pigfucker Jim. This man's name is Hiro. He's a Japanese citizen with supposed ties to Yakuza dark money, which is said to have fueled his buying of 4chan. He presents himself as rather meek in comparison to moot, however he earned the ire of the entire site when he secretly added crypto miners to all blue boards. Shady behavior to say the least. And there's something else about 4chan, that I learned. Their moderators are all required to give the site owner their social security numbers. They are not anonymous. That means they can be leveraged IRL, and can't be trusted.
