Remove the "Start conversation" button.

I saw discussions about this in FAQs, but I didn’t see anyone adding this to Submit an Idea to vote on this topic. The “Open item page” and “Start conversation” buttons are equivalent. This button just clutters the Task column. I am suggesting removing the “Start conversation” button.

I would prefer to remove the “Open item page” button since it moves when hovering over pulses and I often click it when I’m trying to edit a pulse name. I never actually use this option to open the updates panel, I always use the conversation button since it’s always visible and in the same place.

Highly agree. As someone with ADHD this is just another bit of visual clutter which can make it harder to focus. Would be good if this could be optional instead of default.

Also agree! Would love the option to remove.

I agree this would be a great feature! I normally screenshot a board and use it to report the high-level status of projects. The “Start conversation” button is extra noise the executives do not want to see. Same goes for the subitem count. Wish I could hide both to have a cleaner view/report.

OMG yes.
The Start Conversation / Update bubble button thing IMHO completely unnecessary. The Open button can have that bubble icon on it if monday if people like that, but only 1 button is necessary, with the user setting which shows by default. For me, and for my monday professional services clients that I implement for, the most common use it to open the item to see an item card.
Related to this issue is that when you open a connected board tile to display the vertical item view, the only way to open the item is by clicking the Start Conversation bubble on the top, which brings you to the Update tab for that item. This is extremely frustrating, since 99% of the time I and my clients just want to see the Default item view tab, which is usually an item card. There should at least be a second button on top of the connect board popup that allows the ability to just open the item to the default view tab.

They are not the same since the conversation button brings you directly to the updates section, and the open item button brings you to the default item view (which is updates unless you changed it).

Having said that I totally agree the open item button is unnecessary
