I will appreciate the dumb one liners as tim berners lee intended: by sending an email to your personal account with the subject line LAUGHING OUT LOUD and a too-close front camera selfie of me laughing in the body.
post recency - all discussion is blasted into oblivion by the speed of posting
thread activity - struggle sessions and flamebait float to the top. Hexbear launched with a heavily activity-based metric and had to get rid of it, as it hemorrhaged users who couldn't handle a front page of multi-day flame threads
most recent post withing thread - just a noisy proxy of thread activity
The format only works for single conversations on single topics. It falls apart once you have people discussing several things on one post. It would fundamentally change the website.

how about oldest post at the top, no threading, inline quotes. We did this for decades, and it worked.
