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 have to say that I totally agree with the notion of looking for something that isn't. 'digital sugar rush'.

I enjoyed the deeper and harder discussions around politics, theology and philosophy. However, I only ever posted when I had something to add to the conversation as a lot of the subs I was in were modded by experts, and I'm at best an interested layperson.

I think for the moment at least, I need to brave commenting more. I guess we will have to so is we can attract the same experts to this platform, and get the same level of discussion.
