Ability to take comment discussions to chat is extremely undiscoverable; please fix [duplicate]
Occasionally when I am trying to figure things out with someone asking a question, I come to the conclusion that it would be better to use the chat. This typically happens well before the stage where …

Can new users not be bait-and-switched?
I'll spare you the vitriol of the Trustpilot reviews, but it ain't pretty.
Don't worry; everyone on the Meta sites is acutely aware of how SE, especially SO, is perceived off-site.
And yes, our reas …

The policy of editing out “noise” should be proactively explained and more easily referred t...

Can we get a better mechanism to communicate with the OP?
I noticed a pattern while going over the recent meta post at The Stack Exchange reputation system: What's working? What's not? and it spurred me to revive this nearly-12-year-old complaint.

How to easily access your "saved for later"/duplicates list when voting duplicates

Offer a bounty for a new canonical Q/A pair
For personal reasons I am no longer interested in contributing new questions and answers to Stack Overflow; but I think this idea would have much broader applicability than my specific use case.

Shortcut or button for copying posted code from Stack Overflow
This is a terrible idea
If you're answering a question

Should "move-to-chat" be provided on demand (as a button perhaps)?

Let answerers keep their rep for deleted questions that they had invested time and effort in
I have ignored the details of your proposal, because the proposal is motivated by profound misconceptions about Stack Exchange that render it moot.
