Really happy I'm adding more functionality to my tech blog: integrated Mastodon comments! Here's a preview of how it looks after some layout mods.

I'll need a Mastodon post ID in order to reference it in the Hugo front matter... so you might see me post a few toots of my older posts. :blobcatwinktongue:

Thanks to @carlschwan and his post/guide: https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/

Muy buenas gente, necesito de vuestra sabiduría 😅 Estoy pensando en abrir un blog y me he decidido por bearblog.dev, que es muy sencillo, limpio y tal. Pero no admite comentarios, hay que usar un servicio de terceros. No sé mucho de este tema. Me viene a la cabeza Disqus, se ve mucho por ahí pero he leído muchas críticas negativas, y ni a mí me gusta demasiado. ¿Cuál ha sido vuestra experiencia con esta plataforma? ¿Hay alternativas más "limpias"? Permitir publicar sin una cuenta en el servicio sería un plus, me gustaría ponérselo lo más fácil posible al potencial lector. Gracias de antebrazo 😀

remember when I asked for a replacement for #disqus and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with #mastodon?

Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project.

Introducing: Meh..

https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26-meh_another_comment_system

* 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

Ich habe auf meinem Blog eine Kommentarfunktion per #giscus eingebunden.

Geht ziemlich einfach, und ich finde es echt cool...

Besonders für statisch generierte HTML-Seiten interessant.

Do you need a comment system? If not then I would suggest some static web generator. I use #Pelican, which is #Python , but I am sure there is something in #PHP as well. With these it actually doesn't matter what language generated those static #HTML pages. Also much more secure when you have no user input at all (or delegate to #Disqus).

Oh, what a thrilling saga! 🤔 We have a techie hero who valiantly battles the evil forces of #tracking and #bloat, only to retreat sheepishly when faced with a subscription fee. 🤑 Enter the mighty #Mastodon, savior of #comments and slayer of #Disqus, hailed for its overlap with absolutely everything. 💡 Because why build something yourself when you can just hitch a ride on the latest buzzword? 🐘

Oh Mann, da suche ich eine halbe Stunde, warum die Disqus Kommentare in meinem Blog nicht mehr funktionieren und finde dann endlich raus, dass #firefox seit längerem #Disqus nicht mehr lädt, wenn man "Enhanced Tracking Protection" im strict Mode konfiguriert hat. Und ja, das habe ich natürlich. 🙈

Ok, selber schuld, ich habs so gewollt.

Damn! I just realised that #Disqus 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.

@Alien_Sunset If it were me, I'd probably go with #disqus because it's been around a while and is widely used

#disqus: "本網站的管理員已禁止您的留言"
可是我就是管理員啊

可能和 firefox 隱私保護有關？但該關的都關了還是找不出問題。

Apa, ja tenim comentaris al Bloc d'In4Matics.CAT gràcies a #disqus :mandalorian:

Just logged into #Disqus account for the first time in seven years. Interesting to see old comments I had made on articles and blog posts. I'd say about 3/4 of them are sites that no longer use Disqus. So when I look back at the comments in the context of the pages, those comment threads have just been disappeared from the page entirely.

A lot of them are news media sites that have just abandoned comments sections entirely.

Product idea: commenting-as-a-service like #disqus, but with no text area, just a sparkly AI "write a comment for me" button.

I'm updating my no_downvote_display extension to add support for Manifest v3 since I figure it's worthwhile to do so because downvotes can be bad mentally even with Google's anti-adblock thing. Officially I don't support Google Chrome or Chromium, but I do support #Vivaldi if you need a Chromium-based browser. Preferably I'd say to use Firefox if you can, though.
1/2
