Hopefully we go back to forums, where the format is more conducive to conversation rather than snarky one-liners and memes.

This whole nested comment format becomes completely unreadable once you have more than two people involved in a comment thread, and the fact that submissions can't survive more than 36 hours guarantees that no deeper conversations would ever happen even if the comment format could support them.

On forums, there are discussion threads that last for years and the format makes them much easier to read from start to finish.
