I worry about the echo chambers people are subjecting themselves to when something with applicability as general as a commenting widget requires a GitHub account to sign in. That's narrowing it down to a subset of a subset of one's audience.
- darekkay 6y agoIt's a trade-off. GitHub comments are free and rather easy to set up and maintain. If I had a highly developer-centric blog or even a blog supporting an open-source project, using GitHub as comments is a perfectly fine solution. But sure, this solution is limiting your target audience.
