I'm way out of the loop, why can't we comment on answers now?

Comments were removed on 7/23/2020, as has been asked and answered DOZENS of times since the change occurred.

Well, they got rid of it sometime in the fall of 2020 as a response to the election (specifically the American election, as you may know). They said it was temporary, but it's obviously permanent now because they're going to get rid of this site in a few weeks.
