Comment on What MMORPG are you playing, and why?

Elite Dangerous, because it can be as intense or chill as I want, it’s a remarkably good space sim, and I can easily opt out of PvP while still affecting the state of the galaxy.

I’ve wanted to get back into Elite Dangerous but I wasn’t even aware that it was an MMO. What am I missing?

The entire galaxy is shared by everyone playing the game, in real time. You can encounter each other, fight, team up, or avoid each other, and your actions influence the state of the shared simulation. Definitely an MMO.
The most recent thing you probably missed was the thargoid war, and (very recently) the battle with the titan that parked itself over Earth and took over the Sol system. You might compare it to a fantasy MMO raid, but at a much larger scale.
