Shameless plug: my own alternative to Disqus: https://github.com/adtac/commento There's also a hosted service I've been building for the past five months, if you don't want to bother with setting up and maintaining servers, but also don't want your readers to be mercilessly tracked by Disqus and their endless tracking partners. It's currently in private beta, but I'd be glad to invite anyone reading this (as a bonus, you'll get a lifetime free subscription for beta testing); shoot me an email (address in profile) :)

Hello! I'm the author of Commento [1], one of the recipients of this award. Feel free to ask me any questions (I can answer) about the MOSS programme, about Commento, or anything else you're curious about. [1] https://github.com/adtac/commento

The topic of Disqus alternatives comes up every once in a while on HN, so I was thinking about inviting the people working on Disqus alternatives to my chat room and have a conversation about their projects and the comments space in general and write a lightly edited blog post based on the chat. Here are some of the people I plan to talk to: * `foxhop of https://www.remarkbox.com/ * `adtac of https://github.com/adtac/commento * `KajMagnus of https://www.effectivediscussions.org/ * The person behind Isso * The person behind https://github.com/schn4ck/schnack * Aja of Civil Comments (it shut down recently https://medium.com/@aja_15265/saying-goodbye-to-civil-commen... ) * And of course, my own https://www.hostedcomments.com/ We actually had the first discussion in the chat room (though we went off topic very quickly), you can read it here h

Thank you! :) This was only possible because of all the contributors [1]: some of the design paradigms were entirely their ideas, so credits to them as well. [1] https://github.com/adtac/commento/graphs/contributors
