I am the author. Heard you were talking shit...

I kid, I kid :D

I insist that in their current form, reddit (and lemmy) can serve as both forums and link aggregators with comment sections.

Well anyway I enjoyed the read.

I am only here actually because proper forums have yet to figure out federation. As soon as Discourse or Flarum or whatever figure out full federation, I'm gone (over to them).

Specifically, I prefer chronologically sorted posts and the absence of voting systems.

You can actually do that on lemmy already like so. Sorting by new doesn't use the voting. Hell you can even sort them like a forum by sorting by "new comments"

I get it, and thanks for the advice. But I dislike what voting does to spaces like this as a matter of principle. It is a social consensus reinforcement mechanism, even if it is implemented with the best of intentions.
