Many developers are turning off their comment sections due to scam attempts and fraud links regularly occuring on itch.io; it's been happening for months and the platform is yet to find a solution, and not all devs feel comfortable with risking their player's safety, nor have the time to actively moderate the comment sections 24/7 (myself included :( )
the best place for bug reports are on discord tbh, as this is the place where I actively check & chat with people!
Thank you. Have you actually disabled them yourself? I posted comments on it just a month or so ago.
But there are definitely real problems, too. On another page I follow I only see the comments section if I log out. If I'm logged in, there's nothing. I have reported it, but have gotten no feedback as of yet.
And sorry, but I don't Discord. I have more than enough accounts to deal with already.
