You can actually do that on lemmy already like so. Sorting by new doesn't use the voting. Hell you can even sort them like a forum by sorting by "new comments"

I get it, and thanks for the advice. But I dislike what voting does to spaces like this as a matter of principle. It is a social consensus reinforcement mechanism, even if it is implemented with the best of intentions.
