Thanks for that, I’ll see what I can do to make the plugin description and settings descriptions clearer.
I’m not aware of this, but wherever it’s being advertised it should be made clear what the plugin does. My understanding is that the goal of the plugin has always been to move commenting out of the WordPress comment section and onto the Discourse forum. This is with the aim of improving the quality of discussions that occur around WordPress posts. The comments that are displayed underneath a WordPress post are meant to function as a ‘teaser’ to get people to join the discussion on the forum.
