It would be nice if we could create post/communities that only sort comments on recency. I never did like the whole reddit upvote downvote button for comments.
Upvote and downvote is a great system provided it shows both and doesnt reduce it to positive or negative only.
The system is meant to show good content from bad content, by showing the total amount of up and down votes. Reddit got rid of that system years ago and just showed the sum of votes which is where the "hive mind" mentality came from. Used to be you'd see a post with dozens of upvotes and downvotes and it would tell you that the content itself was usually of high quality, it was just a controversial take. If a post had 450 downvotes and 400 upvotes you'd know they were speaking for about half of the site, whereas if it only shows "-50" you'd think they are a huge minority.
As long as karma doesn't exist and the total amount of all votes are displayed, I think it's a far better system than just showing every comment based on it being recently posted. If we did that you'd have spam everywhere and you would have to dig through a dozen low effort comments to get the best engagement.

I don't think there is a way on Jeroba?

Damg I straight up do not see that anywhere ): Could it be because I'm using an old version?
Yeah, when you go into the thread the top right has the lines icon for the menu to sort comments how you want.
Hmm I wonder if I need to update or something. I definitely can not find it ): Good to know it's supposed to be there though
Not sure what mod options exist here, but Reddit mods could set the suggested sort, which most people use when viewing, so you could suggest sort by new and bypass ordering by vote totals. It was often used on live threads for events.
