Moving 18 years of comments out of Disqus and into my 11ty static site
(sachachua.com)
I've been thinking of getting rid of the Disqus blog commenting system for a while. I used to use it in the hopes that it would handle spam filtering and the "someone has replied to your comment" notification for me. Getting rid of Disqus means one less thing that needs Javascript, one less thing that tracks people in ways we don't want, one less thing that shows ads and wants to sell our attention.
