List of Comfy Websites
4channel regulars often ask for recommendations for comfy websites. Now that the consolidations are mostly over, smaller and niche sites are almost impossible to find, and are actively suppressed by the big actors. For instance, Google will do its best to bury both the Installgentoo Wiki and Neocities in any searches.
