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

Then I built an alternative using free Cloudflare Worker

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.

The issue with that approach is risk.

You now have a direct way for users to insert data into your repo, which can include illegal things. And if you're required to delete it later, you'll be forced to edit your git history.

But if everyone behaves, it's a great solution

Worrying about editing git history buries the lede. Any comment system allows users to insert data into your site, which, if it might be illegal things, is a legal risk.
