Booru list

I researched various sources including Reddit discussions, web articles, and GitHub repositories to gather information about different boorus and their features. There was a moderate amount of consensus among the sources, with some boorus being mentioned more frequently than others. The sources were relevant to the original query, and I am moderately confident in the information provided. However, personal preferences and specific needs may affect which booru is the best choice for an individual user.
