I found the culture on OGS, particularly wrt moderation, to be pretty great (as a newcomer, and I exclusively play 9x9).

I've read about KGS but I've never figured out how to engage with it. (I know it to be the OG, srs bzns venue, though).

Just download CGoban, here is the website:

Most of us started who are still active on the server have been playing there 20+ years at this point. E.g. I myself (and many others) started playing after reading this article:

For KGS you had to bring your own client, like cgoban, if memory serves. They have a web client now, but the Java client was what I played on for while.
