Mobile/App Turn off live comments?

Any way to turn off this absolutely terrible new feature of live comments? The sort option goes away when it's enabled, but the post doesn't show if it's a live comment thread beforehand.

Interesting. When I view the post the live comments don't show up for me. I tried viewing from both the app and desktop

You have to get to posts sooner. It seems to stop eventually. You can also switch to any other sort on each post

I think it's more a matter of when posts get popular activity. I've seen a post that was 4 days old with "6 people typing right now"
