I changed my blog to be static. I don't trust any of these embedded comment systems, and don't don't want to risk the legal burden of hosting comments myself. I killed off a small community this way, which felt not great :( I guess it was assumed that a GDPR-compliant software infrastructure would be able to grow from the ashes, but I haven't been following, and don't know what the state of the art is. It seems people mostly offload to other platform (twitter/discord) rather than host themselves now? I miss when websites were more participatory - I respect + envy people who still do blogs with lively comment threads.
