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 used it for extremely specific obscure tech issues that were solved 10 years ago in random threads 🙃
That’s why I hope that most subs make their content available again, even after shit went down the drain.
