For me, it’s a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

    1000%. I really enjoyed that aspect of seeing completely different world views. Sometimes they were bat shit and unrelated and other times it showed me that I had an error in my judgement that I didn’t even see. My opinions and understanding of other people changed a great deal over the years.
