I’ve removed Disqus. It was making my blog worse

>>ry8806+(OP)
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.

I find the idea of using Git for comments somewhat terrifying, not least of all for the permanence of the history making moderation a nightmare.

>>antony+3c
They are just bunch of static hosted .jsonl text files, one comment per commit, and makes up exactly one line

In case of comments you don't like, just delete the line and `git commit`

to erase the history entirely, use `git cherry-pick` and `git push -f`

It might be a nightmare for people not familiar with `git`, but for folks running a static blog like Hugo, they use lots of shell commands anyway.
