MODERATORS
This is what I miss about oldschool forums. They felt so personal and intimate and you bumped into the same people in the threads and YOU as an individual felt involved in the inside jokes and the lingo, etc
Reddits inside jokes lasted 10+ years in some communities, having passed through the hands of tens of thousands. A far cry from what it even means to have inside jokes.
"in before the lock"
They changed from inside jokes to community jokes. It's sort of like how there are jokes among programmers that any of the tens or hundreds of thousands of us would get, but would fly over the heads of people not in the industry. Reddit jokes just turned into something that someone would get if they were a Redditor.
