Yes, that's exactly the issue, and I'm conflicted.

Personally, I like comments here—it's the place where I'll find them again, if I revisit a post. In particular, if I link to a post, because I'm discussing something related, it's great to see the previous discussion. Then it can inform the new post I'm writing.

Having said that, I'm sure that a lot of people who follow me on one or more of the social media sites don't follow my blog, and even among those who do, most of them don't check back here to see if there have been comments. But a prompt comment on Facebook will often be seen by many people who wouldn't have come here (and perhaps by a few who had already come here, but wouldn't have been checking back).

I guess my best hope is that shifting more of the discussion here will prompt other people to come back and look at the comments, so that eventually it will be clear that this is the place for comments and discussion. But until that happens, feel free to comment anywhere. I'll see the comment wherever you put it.
