I ditched Disqus for the exact same reason, too many ads

Then I built an alternative using free Cloudflare Worker

https://github.com/est/req4cmt

It's a simple service that transform comment POST form data to JSON, append to a .jsonl file, then do a `git push`

It renders comments by `git fetch` from a .jsonl file from a remote repo, or simply via raw.githubusercontent.com if your repo was hosted by Github.

The advantange over Github issue/discussion based comment plugins:

1. All data is stored a .git

2. no login of any sort

Github OAuth login might leak all your repo data along with your `access_token` to the plugin provider.

The `git push` works for any remote. You can choose github/gitlab or whatever.

.jsonl files are fine for low volume comment threads I think, but others have already mentioned the use of git for storage. Would sqlite or Cloudflare's own D1 (SQLite compatible, also available in their free plan) work as an alternative?
