The big subreddits' comment sections is largely low quality anyway.

Traditional forums have their downsides (anyone remember super nested quote trains?), but I still find them superior to upvote + nested replies.

The best forum UI for me, though, are imageboards. Too bad they are associated with a less than popular community.
