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 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
