Removing the old boxes around replies seems like a neat idea (they are maybe a bit too prominent in the old design), and I like the thread-like line at the left, too. However, it does seem a bit “noisy” now if there are replies with quotes:

Also, I think the padding between the “Replies box” and reactions is a bit small; same for the padding between the avatar and the reply content.  
Similarly, the (missing) alignment between the collapse button and the lower bounds of the last reply as well as between the avatar and the user name and title feels a bit odd to me.

Finally, I’m unsure about the visual separation between posts just by whitespace.

But this might be something one would get used to after a while.
