Personal Blog Should Have Comments A spammer would agree. Trolls most certainly agree. If I was to add the function to comment it would use local storage. [1] not my repo If I wanted interaction from visitors I would make one of my forums public. They would at least have to register and they would be subject to normal moderation. As a new member only I would see their comments until their rank moves up from Guest, thus weeding out most low effort trolls and grifters. If I really wanted to hear from random visitors of a blog I would give them a throw-away email address or a form to contact me. [1] - https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js

I like https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js - it is basically a global shadow-ban for everyone who comments…

Seems odd that the strap-line (on the repo and main site, not just here) doesn't mention what might be its distinguishing feature. I've seen several general comment plugins like this, my favourite being https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js, though not that sign the comments (as mentioned lower down https://licom.fly.dev/). Though it doesn't say what use these signatures are put to (and I've not looked into the code). If there is no identity associated with the keys they don't prove the message comes from someone specific, just that the message hasn't been tampered with and came from the same person as other messages thusly signed.

Could it be that your site topics draw in negative folks? Some topics can evoke emotional feedback. In that case you might consider EchoChamber [1] javascript that stores comments in the browser. This is not my project. When a user submits a comment, echochamber.js will save the comment to the user's LocalStorage, so when they return to the page, they can be confident that their voice is being heard, and feel engaged with your very engaging content. It does not make any HTTP requests. Since LocalStorage is only local, you and your database need not be burdened with other people's opinions. [1] - https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js

Local storage: solves the spam issue and the issue of annoying commenters. https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js

Actual trolls should be able to spot this fairly quick as they often have multiple accounts and interact with their alternate personas. I would expect this to mostly silence wrong-think. e.g. anything not aligned with the group/tribe narrative. Another variation of this is echo-chamber [1]. The difference is creating a self contained echo chamber and the person leaving a comment will never see comments from real people. [1] - https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js

Echochamber.js is missing from the list. > All of the commenting, none of the comments. > When a user submits a comment, echochamber.js will save the comment to the user's LocalStorage, so when they return to the page, they can be confident that their voice is being heard, and feel engaged with your very engaging content.

Other fun software made at least partly in jest (though still quite useful): eatmydata (https://packages.debian.org/sid/eatmydata) is an LD_PRELOAD library to disable filesystem syncs, to speed up test runs and other cases where you don't care about data integrity (such as if losing power would just mean you run the tests again from scratch anyway). echochamber.js (https://github.com/tessalt/echo-chamber-js) makes it look like your page accepts comments, displays them to the person who submitted them, but doesn't show them to anyone else.
