Move away from Disqus
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Disqus is showing Taboola ads. I don't like that, and I never authorized it. No idea how long it's been going on. So I'm likely going to move away from the platform.
Steps
- Disable comments on all posts that have none (#578)
- Get Giscus added to Minimal Mistakes: mmistakes/minimal-mistakes#3022
- Create discussions and migrate comments from Disqus
- Switch theme to use giscus
- Re-enable comments on all posts
Will require GitHub accounts for discussions, but given that it's free I feel OK about it, and I'll provide other avenues of contact.
Hi @SeanKilleen , found your blog when I'm doing scheduled builds for github. Looked at your Issues and saw a familiar pain point.
I solved this by using utterances: https://ljvmiranda921.github.io/notebook/2021/03/26/migrating-from-disqus-to-utterances/
Another option is this, if you prefer Github Discussions: https://github.com/laymonage/giscus
@ljvmiranda921 Hi and thank you! Super awesome of you to drop these links there. I'll definitely be checking them out.
@ljvmiranda921 giscus looks like exactly what I'm looking for. This is hugely helpful. Again, thanks!
Inspired by @ljvmiranda921, I'm currently adding giscus support to MinimalMistakes so I can enable it at the theme level: mmistakes/minimal-mistakes#3022
Hey @SeanKilleen , glad to be of help!
