I'm one of those people that has removed them completely. I'm not a fan of UGC polluting content on my properties. I am a fan of having the conversations take place offsite and in the social media sphere. I also like the idea of using Webmentions or ActivityPub to display social activity numbers as engagement signals, and to perhaps even link to it, but I wouldn't want the posts to appear below my articles.
