CommentHub includes: Real-time comments and threaded replies Spam protection and moderation tools Guest and authenticated commenting Built-in analytics Light, dark, and custom themes No advertisements or third-party tracking A free tier with 5,000 comments per month I’d especially appreciate feedback from developers and publishers currently using Disqus or another hosted comment platform: What would prevent you from switching? Which integration should I improve first? What moderation features do you consider essential? You can try it at commenthub.io </code></pre> </div> showdev webdev javascript privacy
