That's true, Discus is pretty bad. That said, I really enjoy GitHub Issues-like comments. They're simple and get the job done just right.

- fiatjaf 10y agoBut you need the commenter to have a GitHub account. Yeah, that's not too bad anyway. Otherwise you would need them to have an account on your site, or on Disqus.
- shurcooL 10y agoYep. My target audience has a GitHub account already, and I'd rather not force them to create yet another account on my personal site just to comment or leave a reaction. It also works well as a quality filter. People with a GitHub account will be much more responsible with their words, compared to anaonymous posters or throwaway accounts, since they have a professional reputation to maintain.
- hueving 10y agoAnd it rules out those pesky commenters that care about things like privacy and avoiding the centralization of open source development and shoveling everything into 'the cloud'.
- arjie 10y agoNow that's a feature I'd get behind: the ability to select out people I'd rather not talk to. The one you mention is a nice positive effect.
