Initially I decided to go without comments. I haven't considered Disqus in the first place as it's too much everything for me so I would have to go and hide various stuff via CSS (and keep it updated). Also I am not a fan of JavaScript loading after the fact. I also generally like blogs without comments and didn't want them on my blog. But then it hit me, why not use HN for comments? Everything clicked in and I decided to go that route. At least experimentally for now. Two downsides: 1. One has to have an account here. This is partially mitigated by having the reply box available even if you are not logged in or registered, encouraging to comment/log in/open an account. 2. One has to self-submit. Additional benefit is that HN contains a target audience I am interested in, thus making comments better but also forcing me to post better stuff.
