Andreas Gohrremember when I asked for a replacement for <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disqus</a> and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a>? Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project. Introducing: Meh.. <a href="https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26-meh_another_comment_system" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26-meh_another_comment_system</a> * single install serves as many sites as you want * can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend) * imports Disqus * fetches Mastodon replies as comments * supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de) * probably has bugs <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/opensourcesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensourcesoftware</a> <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/comments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comments</a>

Marianne SpillerThanks for all replies! Leaving <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitHub</a> has a different implication: I'll have to dismantle comments on my <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> using <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/utterances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utterances</a>. And as <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> & others are not a valid alternative, it seems I have to build this alternative by myself 🤯

Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@gerrykelly" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gerrykelly</a> Do you need a comment system? If not then I would suggest some static web generator. I use <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Pelican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pelican</a>, which is <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> , but I am sure there is something in <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PHP</a> as well. With these it actually doesn't matter what language generated those static <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a> pages. Also much more secure when you have no user input at all (or delegate to <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a>).

Mohit SindhwaniDamn! I just realised that <a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> now injects ads of their own into my personal ad-free blog.I guess I have to disable comments till I find an alternative and have the time to migrate to it. I know gisqus is one, but will need to look at it.<a href="https://ruby.social/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a>

Matt 🔶 (LordMatt)<a href="https://dice.camp/@Alien_Sunset" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Alien_Sunset</a> If it were me, I'd probably go with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disqus</a> because it's been around a while and is widely used<a href="https://help.disqus.com/en/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://help.disqus.com/en/</a>

Paul :python: :django:Product idea: commenting-as-a-service like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disqus</a>, but with no text area, just a sparkly AI "write a comment for me" button.

OMG! Ubuntu!Disqus Comments Not Loading? It’s Not Me Bro, It’s FirefoxOver the last 12 months I’ve received a trickle of messages from readers (through the tip form) asking why the Disqus comments section doesn’t load, or comes and goes. Comments are auto-enabled all articles I publish. And if comments are intentionally disabled for an article (which does happen, albeit rarely) you won’t see a comment count (functions as an anchor link to the comments section) in the ‘meta’ area beneath the headline on the article page. So what’s the cause of comments not loading? Mozilla Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) mode set to ‘Strict’. The feature —I won’t be :sys_more_orange: <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#News</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/SiteStuff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SiteStuff</a> :sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/05/disqus-comments-not-loading-its-not-me-bro-its-firefox" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/05/disqus-comments-not-loading-its-not-me-bro-its-firefox</a>

Andrea Corbellini6 months ago I ditched the evil <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Remark42" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Remark42</a>, and I couldn't be happier about it. 💬 The story of how I did it is here: <a href="https://andrea.corbellini.name/2023/09/05/disqus-to-remark42/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://andrea.corbellini.name/2023/09/05/disqus-to-remark42/</a>and here: <a href="https://andrea.corbellini.name/2023/09/19/running-remark42-on-flyio/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://andrea.corbellini.name/2023/09/19/running-remark42-on-flyio/</a>

Drew NaylorI figured out how to get <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> working in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> when using <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/EnhancedTrackingProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnhancedTrackingProtection</a> : you have to turn it off for that site, but it's ok if you have <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uBlockOrigin</a> since it'll block the actual trackers on an average site using Disqus (my sample size is 3, including my own for a site that only has Disqus and nothing else considered a tracker).

XtoFToday I noticed that <a href="https://shelter.moe/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> started serving ads on my website, because I use their free tier plan. The alternative being to pay $11 per month! 😮 So I removed Disqus altogether and, with it, the ability to post comments on my articles ; until I can set-up a proper alternative.Good riddance! Disqus is full of trackers anyway and I should have trashed it a long time ago.

thomastc | frozenfractal"Hi there,You're currently on our free Disqus Basic plan, which is our ad-supported tier that comes with only the most rudimentary features.Ads will begin appearing on your comment section shortly."Am I glad that I migrated my blog from <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#disqus</a> to self-hosted <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/isso" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#isso</a> just this week! At the time it felt like way too much effort for a small thing, but now I'm glad I did it.

XtoFDisqus is informing me that they will soon start to serve <a href="https://shelter.moe/tags/advertisement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#advertisement</a> on my website unless I pay for the "ad free tier".I know that they must earn something for their work. That's fair enough.But without me: bye bye <a href="https://shelter.moe/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> 😃 <a href="https://github.com/posativ/isso" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/posativ/isso</a>It was a move that I was considering for some time, in order to get rid of the last trackers on my blog. Now is the time 🙂

SpockoI read that SPAM is very popular in Hawaii "from SPAM® Fried Wontons to SPAM® Musubi, and SPAM® products became a fixture for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

(Context: <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DISQUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DISQUS</a> (DISSUX) on the Eschaton blog kept labeling a post from my friend JeffCO as SPAM. He's vegan.) [I used the Match <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Font" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Font</a> tool in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Photoshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photoshop</a> under <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Type" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type</a> on the word SPAM.

Konrad HinsenGot a note from <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> announcing ads to appear soon in the comments section of my blog. That looks like the right moment to get rid of Disqus.Is there something similar with <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> support? I don't want to move the blog itself to the Fediverse (too much hassle), just the comment system.

casey is remoteLOL: For <a href="https://social.freetalklive.com/tags/BlazeNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlazeNews</a>, <a href="https://social.freetalklive.com/tags/TheBlaze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheBlaze</a> has gone "independent"...but relies on <a href="https://social.freetalklive.com/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> for hosting their comment section.

OblomovOne of the best ways in which this could improve the experience on some of the blogging sites is that it would remove the need to rely on privacy-invading <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> or (even worse) <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/OpenWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenWeb</a> comment systems in favor of native + Fediverse comments.There's some very good potential here, so I guess the question is: how do we (or rather: who will) take this up with the <a href="https://sociale.network/tags/ComicPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComicPress</a> developers and the authors using its system?
