> The highly-chaotic multithreaded model of Reddit/HN/etc is directly designed to be impenetrable and chaotic, where everyone is just responding to everyone rather than having a "flow of conversation" in which everyone is involved. What are examples of websites that maintain a flow of conversation while involving everyone without letting everyone reply to each other? Being able to reply directly to others while discussing a topic has been the norm at forums, and before those, mailing lists and BBSs. The clients/interfaces just got better over time at sorting/collapsing replies. Whose got the forum where "everyone responding to everyone" doesn't happen?
