If you're using #Disqus for comments on your #blog, I'd urge you to think of switching to a different workflow without any third party.
Besides the bad UX (IMO), Disqus is also categorizing comments as spam where it clearly isn't the case at all. 😔
If you don't get many comments, even email + manually adding them to the article might be an option.
At the moment, #publicvoit has email + Disqus but my plans for getting rid of Disqus are growing.

if your into #foss , don't want to pay for hosting server just to run a comment server for your static websites ,
checkout and you can let go of #disqus
Personally, I found the latter nasty

Je ne savais pas que Disqus affichait des pubs bien sales sur les sites / blogs qui l'utilisent... Comme il est complètement bloqué chez moi je n'ai pas pu constater la chose mais ça semble bien moche... 🫤

Ich liebe es, wie #Discourse bei Diskussionen über Software mit #Disqus und besonders #Discord verwechselt wird.
JEDES. VERDAMMTE. MAL. 😵💫
Was ist diese Woche eigentlich alles so passiert? Beim ZDF gab es Fisting-Attacken, Obama bekommt den Nobelpreis, Marge Simpson ist auf dem nächsten Playboy-Cover, die Amerikaner beschießen den Mond und man kann das Kindle jetzt auch hierzulande bekommen.
Und ich erfreute mich an Canabalt und Regretsy [via] und wunderte mich über den Relaunch von Brightkite und eine neue Version des Disqus-Plugins, das hier erstmal die Kommentare zerschossen hat.

Ditching Disqus: Why I Chose wpDiscuz for My Linux Blog
After migrating my website from Blogger, I initially tried using WordPress’s native comment system, but I simply couldn’t stick with it—it lacks features and offers a limited experience. I considered Disqus’s paid plan, but after reviewing how it handles user data, I decided to seriously look for open source alternatives. That’s what led me to wpDiscuz.

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:

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

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? 🐘
