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.

    Most Google search involves the “Reddit” keyword, it’s really getting in my way now that most subs are private! One of the reasons why I don’t like the “delete all your own comments” thing people seem to be doing

      Yeah, I can understand that frustration. I haven’t been on Reddit much at all leading up to the blackout, and not at all since it started, but I imagine there are more holes than there used to be. On the other hand, though, can you really blame them? Reddit is trying to monetize all of the organic human content there and refusing to listen to the people that help to organize and curate it. I think it’s reasonable to want to take that back given the circumstances. But you’re right in that it still doesn’t make it less inconvenient.
