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.
I mostly lurked on Reddit, but #3 was pretty big for me. If I needed to ask a highly specific question and get an answer from a real human, there wasn’t really any other option. Until now, hopefully.
