Wholesome corners of the net

[Orlando Smooth]

What are your favorite wholesome little niches of the internet?

It's easy to feel doomerish about the stats of humanity based on what you see in normie portions of the web, but I've found that small enough communities are capable of still fulfilling the original promise of the internet. Especially communities surround less popular or old fashioned hobbies/interests. Sometimes I find myself feeling like these are "modern secrets" that I don't want to share for fear of becoming too big, but the reality is that that's not a realistic risk. So I'd love to hear what your favorite wholesome communities are.

For my part, I'd present you with the YouTube woodworking community. The people who are able to make a name for themselves tend to be mostly chill, down to earth, educational, and artistic. There's a couple channels that are a little try-hard, but that's definitely the exception to the rule. As an introduction, I present you with everyone's favorite suburban stoner grandpa, Frank Howarth. Even if you have literally zero interest in woodworking, you should watch at least one of his videos for the production value alone.

Apetor was one of my favorite youtubers who simply uploaded videos of him swimming and skating around the upper scandanavian regions. Unfortunately, he passed away 4 days after his 57th birthday, but his videos are one of my favorite parts of the megalith of youtube. He's quite popular, but for good reason. check out his videos.

Not sure if wholesome is the right word but I find the /c/ board on 4chan very relaxing, especially when you consider the site it's on.

I find melonland can be, the demographic skews from season to season (sometimes being a little too strange) but the guy who runs it seems so compassionate and virtuous in his quest to introduce people to other forms of self expression
