I miss it as well. They are still in my RSS feed. I took a big time out from reading or trying to engage in comments (not for any particular reason but laziness) - I’m not sure for how many years - and a some point, I tried to engage again, and…WOW. The comments are moderated, so at least there is that. But absolutely no deviation from the groupthink is permitted. None. Your comment will be gone so fast if you disagree - especially if you make one of the regulars look stupid by puncturing their logic. There seem to be a handful of people that have deep personal trauma and seem to be working it out by destroying the commenting system on a once-great site. I’m sure they think it’s great - they have a little in-group, along with moderation powers, and they can trade giphys with each other as they dunk on anyone hapless enough to disagree with them. I think more than a few times I saw them bashing Mark F. (one of the owners/founders) because of his identity/age.
