Disqus takes a long time to load

Hi, I've read your post about Staticman. Disqus comments at the bottom can't be loaded in my browser. I'm using qutebrowser on Ubuntu 18.04.

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into this.

Thanks for response. Have you thought of migrating from Disqus? Here's some articles about its shortcomings.

You may try static comments for static blog comments. Comments are stored as YML files inside your repo, so that you completely own the comment. With a static blog generator, these YML files can be converted into HTML elements under your posts, so that the comments are SEO-friendly.

To illustrate this, let me use an MR for a static comment received on my Framagit+Beautiful Hugo+Staticman demo site.
