For myself, I’m looking for a forum that has no up votes or down votes.

  It has nothing to do with downvotes. The first person to show up decides the entire future direction of the conversation.

    One presentation format which utterly flips this is to post newest message first. Random ordering can also work. (Newest first has its own issues, notably of late-hit low-value comments. But the overall effect on the thread discussion of early low-value comments is reduced.)

      Which is a great idea and HN does. I'd love to see a chatmodel as a forum board moderator. They understand nuances, so it would be able to spot people just fighting or adding too much snark. A real net nanny.
