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.
firstly: actual information that isn’t a slurry of AI-generated buzzword SEO designed to get you to click an ad; real experiences from other people, real answers to questions.
secondly: participating in specific hobby communities.
thirdly: a place to go when my brain turns off and my fingers just type an address into the URL bar and hit enter.
