> Of course it is up to me to use disqus, but, as i mentioned, 99% of people wouldn't know what is happening. Not intending to sound ofensive nor harsh but 99% of people don't really care with what is happening. And... as an experienced sysadmin (+15 years), I really disagree that get a VPS+Nginx+Apache+WP+MySQL+OAuth+Akismet running, and them, maintening it long term is as trivial as some Github/Tumblr pages (or a static site generator) with a pasted JS in the bottom of the theme file. edit: added WP to the list of things to setup.

People don't really care because they don't "get" new technology. That doesn't mean you shouldn't care. One could even say that it is up to us (the tech-savy hacker news surfing sysadmins) to do the right thing. Why WP? See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6822766 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6822766 As an experienced sysadmin you are telling me that setting up some basic blog with commenting takes a long time? Why would you even need nginx?! (or apache for that matter)
