Why do we have "General comments" threads?

+3
−1

Comments below posts are grouped into threads, each of which can have a meaningful name so several different conversations can happen in parallel with less risk of confusion.

However, sometimes the thread title is simply "General comments" which does not help the reader understand what the thread contains. Why does this sometimes happen?

When codidact switched from "normal comments" to threads, all the existing comments where converted to threads with the title "General comments"
