Why is this place so much better than other sites like it? - I'm honestly not shilling on behalf of the mods, just new and getting a good feel for the place.

the community is probably one of the main reasons
there are some posters that pay very little attention (or none at all) to the "lolcows" and are here to just have a good time with other users here because of how great the community is
-we got niggas that play D&D together
-we got niggas that play halo together
-we got niggas that play smash together
-we got niggas that make podcasts together
-we got niggas that livestream together
-we got niggas that make art together
-we even got niggas that hang out IRL together (however rare they may be)
real talk, you could spend your whole time here on the off-topic boards and you'd still have a gay old time because of how great the people are
just don't post exclusively in A&H and you will have a good time

I think having the rating stickers is a big part of it, too. In places with no rating system at all, like 4chan, you just end up subconsciously paying more attention to the posts that get the most attention through replies, which means the most autistic and confrontational posts will seem more valued. Here, we have the negative ratings, so we can say "yes, I read this, and it was stupid" without giving them the validation of actually typing that out.
And then on places like reddit and YouTube that have a rating system but it's limited to upvotes and downvotes, those ratings have to mean a lot of things and it degrades their usefulness. Here it's very easy to tell if people are positively responding to are post because it's funny, or informative, or agreeable. On reddit you get posts with the same exact number of upvotes for totally different reasons with no context.
Also I agree with what others have said about the moderation that respects dissenting opinions and free speech without tolerating autism powerful enough to derail a thread. Notice on /cow/ how common it is for a thread to suddenly spiral off into "HI JOSH" or "Hirtes get out", etc. because people fully expect the subjects of mockery to try and derail their own threads, and they have no way of proving whether or not a given person is actually just a normal poster with a conflicting opinion or not. At least here the mods will eventually come in and be like "we checked and this is actually JOSH, please continue to mock him" or "this isn't Hirtes you fucking spergs".
Edit: I also forgot to mention that sometimes you see super old and well-known members start to chimp out and get smacked down. It's not an old boys club where being new automatically makes you a faggot and being old means you can shit up any thread. It seems like the community has a unique respect for newfags that manage to be new without being fags.

The content is widely varied, informative and/or entertaining. There's something for everyone...you'll find your niche if you search. Plus, we know Null loves the site (he may snarl at us occasionally but he doesn't unfairly ban.) It's become the community of choice for many people; the reasons why are probably incidental to each person.

The way the rules are set up on this forum as far as the quality assurances of posts, really keeps the place focused and allows us all to get along. I think the No Powerlevelling rule is the real crux. Other forums I have joined started out as a place for people interested in a particular topic to talk about that topic (a musician, a hobby, etc.) but the connection of Twitter and Instagram accounts, the desire to build your "brand", the pursuit of more followers/likes/etc, and the use of the place as a hugbox for asspats results in most of those forums going to shit.
The thing I like the most about this place is that people are strongly DISCOURAGED from making threads like "You have to accept me and help me! Even though this is my 5th thread where I say im ganna kil myselp!!" whereas other forums feel guilty about the Sad 'Cidals and shame people for not participating in the hugbox.

Free speech, but also this place seems to honor different opinions. Nothing is really one sided. I like that.
Also a lot of the posters are pretty entertaining.

Autism. We all are on our best behavior to farm good boy points. Also, a lolcow forum is the last place most people want to look like a fucking sped.

One of the best things about this site is how you can go from mocking a manchild's antics in one thread, to having a deep philosophical discussion about the meaning of life in a second thread, to discussing current events in a third thread. There's truly something for everyone here.
We also don't take ourselves too seriously, and we're not afraid to call each other out if someone does act exceptional. That's a plus.

Biggest problem with places like Reddit and Imgur is you get enough down votes and your post is pushed to the bottom and hidden. So anything that goes against the hive mind is pushed out of sight. Stuff like that discourages different view points from being post out of fear that you'll get down voted. So you either go with the hive mind or leave.

I haven't noticed a lot of the mods yet, but the few I have seen seem fair and nice. I've had a few of my posts moved for being in the wrong forums because i'm a newb and they haven't bitched at me yet or anything.

Another factor to add to my first post on how our humble beginnings meant that ego/power tripping was not really too much of an issue is the fact that this forum was created as the result of some exceptionally autistic drama and bitchfighting among the "bigwigs" of the OG cwckiforums and the cwcki itself and thus we were shat into existence with an inbuilt dislike of pointless drama among our user and modbase along with extreme caution with giving shady possible/probable speds any kind of power or influence which I think probably helped us start out on the right path.

You know how the symbol for autism is a puzzle piece? All the puzzle pieces here mostly fit into a much larger puzzle of faggotry

This place reminds me of Facepunch before things went completely to shit (maybe it was always shit but it definitely got worse around 2014).
Mostly it is nice being able to see different opinions from people without them being removed/hidden/banned. That said the moderation here seems to be significantly less annoying than anywhere else with the inconsistent jannies on 4chan and the self righteous faggots on Reddit.

So many websites are too commercialized or ran by people trying to build a brand, get e-power or push a dumb agenda. Even 4chan feels compromised due to the sheer amount of obvious shills that flood the place.
This is the only website I use where there are no ulterior motives to why or how it's ran. No gay ass mod drama, no shills, no craptivism. It's a little weird how the website known for "cyberstalking" is the most open community there is when you compare it to just about anywhere else on the net right now.

Due to the site's subject matter, nobody is going to reveal anything personal, flaunt about their achievements elsewhere, or turn this place into their blog. At the same time, existence on this site is persistent, its users are obsessed with archiving things, and there's just enough social pressure to prevent a complete breakdown of trust (like with "dissenter" boards on 8chan). It's the best parts of anonymous imageboards combined with the best parts of Web 1.0 forums, with modern software to back it up. It also helps that the news articles about KF have turned it into advertiser nerve gas.

My feeling on this:
Flexibility of operation, the edgy-cool atmosphere of biting memery upon the lolcows, little to no cucking on things and the freedom to post stuff without being ban-hammered for a clash of politics.
Don't like some dick spamming or trolling up your thread / a thread? Stick them on ignore or fight it out. This helps prevent threads bogging down into a dumpster-fire.

I think it's because we are strictly observers and while interpretation/speculation/shitposting is mostly fine, anyone who tries to give "new information" without getting verified or providing receipts is promptly told to fuck off. The powerleveling rule helps a lot too, tbh a lot of the TMI ratings are given to posts that don't really warrant it, but it helps people not get too comfortable and veer off into actual powerlevel territory so it's probably for the best. It keeps attention-seeking faggotry to a minimum and preemptively nixes like 90% of shit that could potentially drag a thread off topic.
I think the ratings help too, it's a way to acknowledge a post and not shit up threads with posts that have little content beyond saying "I agree/disagree with you" or "nigga are you stupid?" or "you clearly didn't read the fucking thread" or whatever while still getting your point across.
