My blog has a very basic comment system that uses Mastodon/ActivityPub. It's a bit cumbersome, but I never liked the alternatives like Disqus, because I always feared they would add enshittification at some point. Seems my gut feeling a few years ago was right. https://ryansouthgate.com/goodbye-disqus/
@jwildeboer If you use an open standard rather than a closed, hierarchical solution, you're always betting on the safer path.
@jwildeboer mind sharing what you're using now? That might be useful for a site I'm building.
@sherbang Sure :) It’s still mostly this setup: https://jan.wildeboer.net/2023/02/Jekyll-Mastodon-Comments/
@jwildeboer @sherbang I’ve been planning something similar, but seeing if I can make my blog’s posts first-class objects in the Fediverse themselves, so I don’t need to write a separate toot. It might require too much server side machinery for my static site. Not sure
