jagoan,

Currently using utteranc.es for my blog. Though I’m not sure in the privacy side. It uses github issues as the backend.

inspxtr,

that looks cool! Do commenters need a github account to do that though?

jagoan,

They do. I can see that it’s a deal breaker for some, but IMO github acc is better than disqus. IDK, maybe there are better options listed by others here.

My requirements were I don’t want to deal with user accounts and spam, and not disqus (I’ve blocked it with pihole).

Moonrise2473,

I considered for my blog to run nodebb with the blog comments plugin

What do you think?

If you want a truly privacy respecting option (because self hosting), I’ve been using cactus.chat which is great. I specifically use it on my streaming setup as it’s real time as well to boot.

Disqus could be integrated but I am not completely sure.

inspxtr,

I’ve heard that it’s not very privacy respecting, is it right?

I am not sure what could be the problem? People will comment if they want.

Moonrise2473,

The biggest advantage of a static site is that it doesn’t need to have that “cookie bar” bs that the eu is forcing everyone down the throat. Disqus nullifies this point

sifrmoja,

@Moonrise2473 @G0FuckThyself that cookie thing isn't bad.

Moonrise2473,

It’s bad because it’s ruining the web. I hate it so much, it’s killing the aesthetics of any website

And anyway I don’t trust the site owner to actually do something if I choose “reject”, I just use my browser option to reject the cookies and so on

sifrmoja,

@Moonrise2473 They are required by law to honour it. GDPR is a good thing. It should be enacted worldwide.

Moonrise2473,

i agree that the GDPR is a good thing, it’s just the cookie bar concept is aesthetically unpleasant
