Hi, this is the maintainer of @staticmanlab, a public GitLab instance of Staicman. Here's some shortcomings of the commenting systems mentioned above.
You may avoid these problems by switching to Staticman, which makes use of GitHub/GitLab Pull/Merge Requests instead of issues. Under Staticman's model, static comments are YML/JSON files stored in the remote GitHub/GitLab repo (usually under data/comments, configurable through the path parameter in root-level staticman.yml), and through a static blog generator (Jekyll/Hugo/etc), the stored data are rendered as part of the content. This gives a total ownership of a static site's comments.
https://github.com/Pelican-Elegant/elegant/issues/288 gives alternatives to Disqus, a sample Staticman demo screen capture and an Isso preview.
Disqus as a comment system has various issues, esp. regarding privacy, GDPR, etc. (was also dicussed in #3 ) and we could save some $$$ (#62).
I think we shoule migrate to an self-hosted solution. For example, https://posativ.org/isso/ is a nicce replacement.
