In my opinion there's an interesting middle ground, where you don't have comments but allow (moderated) linkbacks (I forget the name of the modern variant of this…) from other blog posts mentioning yours.

- ferruck 5y agoI think Webmentions could be the solution to the problem: They allow anyone to comment on and add to your writings without requiring to open an account on each and every blog and they endorse elaborate, "readworthy" responses. Alas, they're used seldom.
- WorldMaker 5y agoUnfortunately, Webmentions are also still a spam vector that needs moderation. I don't think Webmentions yet are common enough to get much spam, but some of us still remember spam wars in Webmentions predecessors like Pingback.
