Andreas Gohrremember when I asked for a replacement for <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disqus</a> and then ranted about how none of the available solutions would also integrate with <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a>? Well shit. I did it again and scratched my own itch and barfed out another open source project. Introducing: Meh.. <a href="https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26-meh_another_comment_system" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2025-03/26-meh_another_comment_system</a> * single install serves as many sites as you want * can be used in static websites (it's lightweight web components in the frontend) * imports Disqus * fetches Mastodon replies as comments * supports different languages (so far en, fr, es, de) * probably has bugs <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/opensourcesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensourcesoftware</a> <a href="https://fedi.splitbrain.org/tags/comments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comments</a>

Marianne SpillerThanks for all replies! Leaving <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/GitHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitHub</a> has a different implication: I'll have to dismantle comments on my <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> using <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/utterances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#utterances</a>. And as <a href="https://konfigurationsmanufaktur.de/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> & others are not a valid alternative, it seems I have to build this alternative by myself 🤯

Andreas GohrI am still thinking about what to do about my blog comments. I identified commentario, isso, remark42 and schnack as possible self-hosted replacements for disqus.Unfortunately none of them seem to support webmentions or fediverse integration.Is there anything I'm missing?<a href="https://octodon.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/comments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comments</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disqus</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/commentario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commentario</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/isso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#isso</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/remark42" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#remark42</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/schnack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#schnack</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/webmentions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webmentions</a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>

SpockoI read that SPAM is very popular in Hawaii "from SPAM® Fried Wontons to SPAM® Musubi, and SPAM® products became a fixture for breakfast, lunch and dinner." But is <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VEGAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VEGAN</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SPAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SPAM</a> popular there too? I'm asking <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> users in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Hawaii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hawaii</a> if they know. <a href="https://www.hormelfoods.com/ask-and-answer/why-are-spam-products-so-popular-in-hawaii/#:~:text=The%20true%20root%20of%20the,rice%20becoming%20a%20popular%20meal" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.hormelfoods.com/ask-and-answer/why-are-spam-products-so-popular-in-hawaii/#:~:text=The%20true%20root%20of%20the,rice%20becoming%20a%20popular%20meal</a>. (Context: <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DISQUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DISQUS</a> (DISSUX) on the Eschaton blog kept labeling a post from my friend JeffCO as SPAM. He's vegan.) [I used the Match <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Font" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Font</a> tool in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Photoshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Photoshop</a> under <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Type" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Type</a> on the word SPAM. It said Brussels. Pretty good match!]

Konrad HinsenGot a note from <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> announcing ads to appear soon in the comments section of my blog. That looks like the right moment to get rid of Disqus.Is there something similar with <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> support? I don't want to move the blog itself to the Fediverse (too much hassle), just the comment system.

Grinning Cat :neocat_flag_bi: :neocat_flag_polyam:<a href="https://cosocial.ca/@virtuous_sloth" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@virtuous_sloth</a> A tip for embedded <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> videos, including <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Disqus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disqus</a> comments, where it automagically embeds images and videos if you put the URL in a comment: Adding parameters like &start=62&end=184 to the URL makes it play only a section of the video when someone hits play. (Times are in seconds: here 1:02 to 3:04.)For regular YouTube links that aren't embedded in a web page or comment, use &t=1m2s or &t=62s (with the start time you want).
