I mean first of all what you are saying about the mods wasn't really true until pretty late into the sub's life, around the time of the quarantine. Also about the stupidpol thing, there was some overlap in the user base but there was already a massive war between the two subs. It was definitely better overall because it was actually part of the rest of the internet and less insular and weird. Of course that came with a lot of drawbacks, like nasty shit spilling over a lot, but that's just reddit, and like it or not, reddit is far more influential than some place with a few hundreds of regular users.
The mods became weird around the rebro era. Up until then no one ever got banned for anything, if you were being an asshole you were just ganged up on and bullied until you left. Like, seriously, even fucking Nazis came and they weren't banned, people just harassed them until they left on their own. I had never been banned for anything but during the Rebro era I got banned like 3 times, maybe more, for complete nonsense. If the mods before the rebro era were bad, idk, possibly, but I didn't even know who they were and I didn't need to because they weren't really doing anything, which worked because the community was growing in a mostly good way.
