For me, it’s a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

    I’m primarily wanting a place where I can read information for both niche and general topics, as well as read the dissent to that information in the same space.

    Man, you nailed it, here. The thing I valued most about reddit as an information aggregate was the ability to go into the comments and expect that I could hear some different viewpoints, maybe get some additional information about the original article, etc.
