Seems the project isn't being so actively developed any longer? https://github.com/coralproject/talk/graphs/contributors Why is that? (In the summer of 2018 and onwards, 90%? 95%? of the GitHub activity abruptly disappeared) Two other open source blog commenting system that are being actively developed are Commento https://commento.io and Talkyard https://www.talkyard.io/blog-comments (I'm developing it).

It has implemented all the design goals and the code has reached stable?

We’re doing all the development under the next branch, a big rewrite to typescript :)

Do you have particular uses for open source social network software for which the AGPL would be a problem for your usage?
Yes, I wanted to add automated moderation policies (including but not limited to word filters) to improve conversation on a platform I was considering building, but as I understand it all the algorithms to implement the policies would have to be published with the rest of the site under AGPL

Their license says the copyright of the project belongs to Mozilla. How weird. https://github.com/coralproject/talk/blob/master/LICENSE
https://scroll.blog/2019/02/25/scrolls-new-collaboration-wit... With this recent product that is also closely integrated with Vox properties, I'd say this is a deeply concerning move how closely the two are becoming entangled.
These Vox-alikes seem to fancy themselves arbiters of meaning with regard to “journalism” and “democracy”. Anything which disagrees with their personal definitions must be “alt-right”...

That certainly puts a very different angle on how this will be used, and what use cases it's targeted towards. From prior experience, Vox outlets are extremely stringent about what they permit in their comments: specifically, only people who agree or can extend the arguments of a given article further are preserved; or quibbles about minor details. No true discussion is allowed outside the article's bubble.
Since it's decentralized, maybe someone could create an alt-right instance that allows only the highest-quality and most ideologically-correct comments. Then we could see how long it would take for Vox to distance themselves from the project.

Isn’t this what Vox and friends already do, just with s/alt-right/leftism/ ?
And I would be the last to argue that comment sections below news articles are anything but a cesspool - they're notoriously bad! But I'm just not sure a control model this heavy handed and lip-servicey is the right approach.
The bullet list seems to describe Twitter. I've wondered why most publishers of comments don't just give up and say "comment on Twitter." Not that I would like that, but still ...
It would be interesting to have a commenting system powered by Twitter where each article/post has a Twitter post with the article name and link so others not finding this post through your website can still comment, and the replies to this Twitter post can be pulled into you article/post and listed as comments.
Here an example:

The missing part is the creation of the initial tweet in your idea, but that should be easy to automate.
