#92I do something kind of similar using Github Discussions for my comments: https://blog.tombert.com/ I didn't build it myself, I use Giscus, but it seems to work fine. Tough to say, though, since no one comments on my blog :)
I just tried to leave a comment on the kids
Logseq page. I'm on mobile, don't have access to my GitHub credentials to log in. I'm also extraordinarily wary of exposing credentials to such a critical service for the benefit of leaving a comment on a blog.
If you have an actual goal of fostering comments, perhaps consider lowering the bar of entry.

I don't think there's an easy way to add other commenting systems for the Quartz static site generator that I use; their documentation seems to suggest that Giscus is the only way. I don't think Giscus has a way of allowing anonymous comments.
It's not a bad suggestion at all, but I'm not ambitious enough to extend Quartz to support another commenting system, especially since the analytics from Cloudflare Pages indicates that I don't get a lot of traffic anyway.

You say this ironically but as a result of my blog I started receiving letters from people and it’s so rewarding.
Such an amazing way to interact with people.

#96> There are other services that could be used for this purpose instead. Notably, I could embed replies from the social media formerly known as Twitter. Twitter split into x, bluesky, and truthsocial. By picking one, you now allow comments from only 1/3 of your readers. Maybe that's intentional, a sort of ad hoc political filter or gate. But I think it's noteworthy.
Blue sky isn’t even close to X

#97I like your idea and stole it but used Mastodon instead :) https://jesse.id/blog/posts/you-can-now-comment-on-my-blog-f...
People have been doing it with Mastodon (and perhaps Bluesky) for years. https://blog.nawaz.org/posts/2025/Jan/adding-fediverse-comme...
I'd love to see a combination of the two as one comment section.

#98What about those EU anti-hate laws which punish the owner of the website instead, if comments are not filtered? I'm asking of curiosity, when it started I disabled commenting on my web page
IANAL, etc. but this risk is usually exaggerated by people with a political agenda. EU legislation takes into account the size and purpose of websites. I have never heard of any small website being targeted by such legislation. Do your own due diligence, of course, and take care not to buy into internet hysteria and over-simplification.

#99But this means I have to make a bluesky posting for every article, right?
