Retro games and patient games were pretty good subs.
Yeah, I'm a mod of retrogaming and a few few other subs in that network. Best group of users ever. 320k people in just the one sub and I think as a team we had to take down maybe 3-4 posts a day? Maybe? I banned 2-3 people in a month, that's absolutely unheard of in a sub that size. I think the worst argument I saw the whole time was a running "the playstation one was not called the PSX" "Yes it was" "NO IT WASN'T!" "HERE IS AN ARTICLE, YES IT WAS." thing that we had to specifically make a rule about. Odd little drama, but other than that? No fights at ALL. I'm talking a report maybe every few days for something being off topic if we didn't get to it quick enough.
The niche subs about fringe interests, even if they're popular ones, often bring out the very best people. And the patient/retro gamers are so very chill.
