I remember I was on break a couple (few?) years back, the Reddit I was used to didn't meet the expectation I had from the years prior. The discussion here was something I wasn't getting from my peers, and I wasn't open to seeking out new friend circles. Having cogent thoughts to come to kept me breathing while rooming with fratbois. Psst! Try dark mode! Sounds weird, but dark mode is actually a pretty big reason for me coming back. I was big into a gaming community forum with similar style. The place was small enough for users to recognize eachother, while similarly having civil discussions around the game, life, clans, etc. Loved that forum and the people I frequented it with. The nostalgia factor is a big plus on top of having a similarly tight community. Made some big (for the time) decisions based on some solid advice on here and wouldn't have it any other way. Now I'm just twiddling my thumbs until d20 dark is a thing.
