The other key feature I'm curious about w/ Disqus alternatives is spam filter performance. Isso does not have any besides manual curation of comments.
- Libbum 9y agoBoth points you make are certainly valid. I'd say that Isso really targets low readership blogs that do just fine on a cheap unmanaged VPS instance though, so a high availability alternative isn't a requirement for that demographic. Unfortunately this also rolls over to the spam filter portion. There were discussions in the bug tracker about this a while back, where the main Isso dev stated that it's a mostly obscure piece of software and spammers are not currently targeting it, so why bother worrying...
- foxhop 9y agosqlite3 is really easy to backup. You can dump out SQL or just copy the .sqlite files. Scaling it horizontally is where is starts to get tricky.
