Get rid of votes.

They only rank replies and posts as content, which is only useful for advertising or providing a platform without ads that hooks into the same antisocial behaviors that an ad revenue driven one would.

They also discourage replies, promote groupthink and provide a vector for abuse.

Get rid of votes. You’re not on reddit anymore, you don’t have to be a redditor .
