For me, it’s a few things.
-
A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush.
-
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
-
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.
Definitely number 3. I completely agree that Reddit was great for the niche stuff.
I mean, if not for Reddit, I wouldn’t have organised multiple hiking and backpacking trips, sticking up propaganda posters about kayaking.
