The first 2 years of activity of the reddit kia2 had higher quality discussion than both current iterations, but I find that parallel to a good multiplayer game having a better spread of players (smoother skill distribution) during its first 2 years and more willing to explore and experiment. This community still converses in good faith, with the exception of some misuse of the downvote button, but the reddit-like sorting mechanism just has its limits.
