Probably some kind of voting where the posts most convincing to the largest number of readers end up at the top and others go down or disappear. Ever been to r*ddit? ;D

So, ironically, if this post were on a Discourse forum, it would have been downvoted, therefore the Discourse transition would have never happened...

You probably also believe in democracy, don't you? ::)
No transition is happening because Dave thinks it's dumb. And I kinda expected similar reaction from him so I just came here to flame on discourse and "the modern web" for fun ;D

ANY type of continuously loading web is simply crap.
It is going against all normal navigation, orientation, linking etc.
Whoever invented it should be criminally prosecuted..
Everybody hates it. My wife hates how in Pinterest you cannot get back to where you were before..
NOBODY likes it.

Yes. With this feature you'll kill instantly the TEA thread which would be a real shame. Imho.

And this is possible because the forum is a bunch of dynamically generated HTML pages one can link to. Linking to individual content in those user-side-rendered javascript monstrosities is typically either impossible or results in a myriad dumb problems because developers of that junk can't get navigation right. And half of users who browse without JS wouldn't even bother going there.

I do like how the URL tells you what the thread is, e.g.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/migrating-the-forum-to-discourse/
At least Discourse does seem to have that though:
