Does it order replies in terms of votes? On the rare occasions I've been there, the posts seem to have no relevance to the ones above or below them.

Yeah, it orders posts based on popularity, so it's highly prone to bias and hivemind.

That's a fucking ridiculous system. You'd think they'd at least add an option to view the posts chronologically.

At first I was intimidated by reddit's UI, once I got better acquainted with it though it's actually very user-friendly and customizable.
You can change the way posts are sorted, you can order it chronologically.
You can also make it so highly downvoted posts aren't hidden.
4chan is confusing to me still though, it's whole layout is just foreign to me, even though I use it on occasion.

I wish we could filter the beat posts page by forum.
And I wish people would use it more for helpful/informative posts.
It would also be cool/useful if there was a way to look up the most upvoted posts of all time.

Oh, fair enough if it's optional. I'm still hella outraged by the existence of one badly ordered display option on a forum I don't use.

My attitude on +1s is the same as my attitude on ratings. I don't give a fuck

Yeah. It sometimes works out pretty good, because you'll read a thread and the most helpful/useful reply is right there at the top. More often than not though, it works in the favor of turning into the vapid hivemind shit you are speaking of. I hate it when I go to read a thread I'm actually interested in reading the responses to and people's opinions.. and it's just turned into who can throw the best pun. But the whole upvote/downvote system there is retarded, simply because people abuse it so heavily. Like if you speak the truth, and it's at all unpopular, you are likely to be downvoted into oblivion. You could make an insightful, helpful post to someone and get downvoted to shit and trolled, but someone reposts a picture that's been posted on the internet 4,582,983,234 times and they get 20,000 upvotes and make the front page. And some people live on reddit and have multiple accounts they use to downvote or bump their own posts or whatever, it's dumb.
