I'm looking for a new comment system for my #Hugo blog, and I'm not seeing any clearly great options.
I've been using #Commento for #comments on my blog for a few years now, and it's about time to switch comment systems.
Commento has been effectively unmaintained for 4 years (see https://gitlab.com/commento/commento). Their (paid) hosted version has been continuing to work, but I've seen increasing numbers of errors lately, so it's time to move.
I'd really *love* something that could integrate semi-natively with #activitypub so new blog posts could show up in Mastodon and Mastodon replies would show up as comments, *but* I don't want to require a fediverse account for commenters; that rules out most (all?) of the embedded-Mastodon comment options.. After looking through Hugo's somewhat-outdated list of commenting options (https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/), it looks like #Discourse is the only option that even *slightly* fits that, and it's a lot heavier-weight than I really want to run today. Hours-of-maintenance-per-comment should be less than 1, thanks.
Basic requirements:
- Either easy to self-host or has a cheap hosted option.
- Allows anonymous comments plus common external auth options.
- Possible to import comments from Commento, possibly requiring code on my part, but it needs to allow arbitrary names, etc.
- Works with static sites.
- Not a privacy disaster
- If self-hosted, ideally written in something sane -- Go, Rust, etc. *Ideally* it's a single binary that listens to HTTP and stores comments in Postgres.
- Supports Markdown.
Does anyone have anything that they're really happy with?
@ProPublica_rss #BigMoneyPolitics
"Voters hv been hit w a barrage of attack ads fr special interest groups, & record-setting sums of money have been spent to sway residents.. “tt piece of #legislation made things worse, Our #public #discourse is basically who can inflame things in the most clever way w some terrible TV ad that’s probably not even true.” “this spending has the potential to drown out speech rights for all citizens, narrow debate,.. & increase the risk of #systemic #corruption.”" 
Is there any good #Android app with features like #telegram channels , which has job boards , i despise #linkedin and i ve tried irc and matrix (not much there ) , i am using #discourse rss atm , but there ought to be better spaced for mortals

This is my Social Music Network website bootstrapping log:
https://the.socialmusic.network/t/bootstrapping-the-social-music-network/10?u=icaria36
Seven days from a Discourse vanilla installation to a fully featured community space. I'm very happy I started it spontaneously. I think it can be useful to anyone planning to create a new Discourse-based forum. I know I will get back to it the next time I bootstrap one.
Guest article by Professor Eric Rodríguez #Ochoa: “A critical #reflection on the interface between #bioethics and #biopolitics in the #age of #biopower”
We both share a fondness for #discourse analysis and the #concept of power by #Michel #Foucault.
I was interested in this topic because for me it sheds a whole new light on the questions of #ethics for #artificial #intelligence.

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.
@icaria36@the.socialmusic.network This is a test reply.
Also a note that we are looking for more ideas to federate Social Music Network topics on https://the.socialmusic.network/t/federating-the-social-music-network/35
Also testing with tags below, to check whether they render on the forum:
I was forced to use Discord as a resource in a course I took. Absurd.
It's also, for some reason, used as a support forum for many FOSS projects. Idiotic.
Anyone willing to do the forum thing can run a managed #discourse server for a few bucks.
Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, eure Fragen freuen mich sehr! Leider fehlt mir die Zeit, sie zu beantworten. Schaut doch gerne im Forum vorbei, dort gibt es viele engagierte und kompetente Menschen, die euch weiterhelfen können.

@gllmr désolée j'avais vu que les repouet et pas les réponses à ma demande :( Oui je suis admin mais n ayant jamais fait de maj sur #discourse j imagine que ça peut être comme sur un #wordpress 9 fois sur 10 ça se fait sans souci et une fois il y a un bug ou une incompatibilité avec des plugins ou autre et je serais pas forcément en capacité de résoudre le bazar
This weekend I want to install #LibreTranslate by @argosopentech in our server, next to #Discourse Translator by @Discourse and the Multilingual Plugin by Pavilion (which --small world-- I helped design in my professional role years ago).
I'm quite intimidated because I haven't touched LibreTranslate ever and I haven't found a guide connecting these pieces.
But social music lovers deserve a multilingual space, so here we go. Links welcome!
