Traffic: relatively low, and still specialized around a few industries, meaning not only is there a small number of people, but they're more mature than a random sampling of internet users. Culture: There's a "this is not reddit. do not make your one line pun here" attitude that is massively healthy. Prevents attention seekers from clamoring over each other for points at the expense of discussion. Feature inequality: downvoting, etc are restricted to significantly more senior users. (this is related to low traffic and terse culture - which make it hard to game your way to becoming an influential user) Good moderation: It's stiff, relative to other communities, but fair and based on easily cited guidelines. This is made possible by low traffic. ?id=dang couldn't pop into every reddit thread, but it seems to be possible here.
