I completely agree. I used to have a Wordpress blog with comments enabled, and that brought me a few headaches at some point.
Later on, I moved to Pelican, which is a static generator, and below every article there's an info box that indicates that no, there's no commenting system, and lists a couple of ways someone can reach me if they wish to discuss that particular article. So far, it's working.
- Avamander 4y agoSome of the best info and discussions I've stumbled upon were under someone's article in the comments. It's not always just for the benefit of the writer, I mean.
- pwdisswordfish9 4y agoSuppose all those people causing you headaches got together and started a subreddit and wrote all the same comments there. Everyone who reads you either hears about your new posts that way, or they follow otherwise but still jump over to the subreddit to see what's going on. Does this state of affairs make you as unhappy as the comment section? Is it possible that your issue is really with critiques and criticism?
- rinze 4y agoNo, there were legal issues involved, due in part to me not running a tight a moderation as I should have, and in part due to one person completely losing his mind and suing a bunch of people, me included. It'd actually be great if this would have happened on Reddit. I learned my lesson: do you want to comment about anything I've written? Please, do so. But not on my piece of land.
