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.
A lot of learning and reading. I spent most of my time on Reddit just lurking and reading things, but I can’t help but notice the overall higher quality of conversation here. I’m pretty happy.
