MODERATORS
Yeah I joined in... 2013? When AMAs were already a thing, and like you said became a place for the same jokes and downvotes for innocuous comments. That's why I lurked for several years before commenting at all - and even then I got made fun of (and downvotes) for not getting a 'magnets, how do they even work?' meme
There were a few niche subreddits that I visited a lot and had actual good discussions / got to know people, but yeah it was otherwise just another place to consume content when bored
