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.
Mainly news. Not just world/region but hobby news.
So far just the world/region news is here, which aren’t particularly great discussions if you’re trying not to get hotheaded.
I liked using r/all to kinda keep tabs on what news what getting lots of attention. I don’t want “all news” - that’ll just upset me. But the big stories rising to the top from the hivemind were helpful
