Using Mastodon to power blog comments
- kramerger 4y agoThis worked surprisingly well.
- klooney 4y agoCan you moderate spam comments with this?
- moqmar 4y agoMastodon has quite good moderation tools, so you probably just can use those.
- panick21_ 4y agoSeems like matrix would be a better solution for that kind of thing.
- linuxdaemon 4y agohttps://cactus.chat/ https://cactus.chat/ exists to do just that.
- panick21_ 4y agoCool, knew that some people were doing it but didn't know about this project.
- bronikowski 4y agoAs expected, my one-person instance running on GotoSocial does not support sharing via GET params because it lacks any front-end aspects. Decentralization is hard.
- msravi 4y agoI just use isso (https://isso-comments.de/ https://isso-comments.de/). It's simple and elegant, easy to integrate, self hosted, and just works without requiring people to login/signup, and allows moderation. Why would you use mastodon for this?
- rektide 4y agoComments are a thing for your site. Thise comments leave no trace on the rest of the web. If you use ActivityPub/Mastadon fot commemts, engagement is open. Someone who has not seen your site ever might run into their friends comments. They might them see your post, might comment in themselves. You can be a participative part of the web, something that connects & makes links. Or you can have a small internally linking site with some gizmos. The value system, the worth of the internet, which the web embodies, has always been interconnection, interlink. You should comprehend this value system & embrace it. This blog illuminates a good way to increase interoperation & interlink.
- Aldipower 4y ago> Comments are a thing for your site. Exactly this is what I need. I like to have the comments to my site on my site. Maintainability, long term safety, SEO, future prone, are the things storing the comments on your own host.
- rektide 4y agoIn my view all your consevative (anti-)desires are just as fulfilled by also integrating with the rest of the web well. ActivityPub will tell you about the comments that come in and you can host them, with additional links out. I feel like you are attempting to snub, & promote not being part of the web, in a slyish way & making excuses for doing the less good thing. But I dont see how any of your wants are fulfilled or enhanced by sticking to an egocentric old world model, where you dont integrate or interoperate with anyone else.
