I’m using SO occasionally and was actively participating in 201x-ish. Even then people cried SO was over, but I never felt that. Comments were moved to the chat, well, then I click on a link and read them. It’s not any different from clicking on expand-comments link. Excuse me if I’m getting something wrong here, but to me it feels like a good thing to keep such drama from a site. That said, sometimes moderators could lock questions which were different from where they redirected to and insist that’s correct. This was one of the worst issues, imo.
