Until now.Īpart from making your website run like a dog with three legs, Disqus hampers your marketing efforts in other ways. With Disqus, I must log out, log back in, write the comments, and so on each time I wish to comment.īut I stuck with Disqus for several years. And what about commenting using different personas or multiple identities? Imagine, you have a tech blog and a lifestyle blog, for example, and want to comment on related websites using a different identity for each. It's hard to imagine many casual commenters taking the time to create an account just to write a quick message on a website. The default settings force potential commenters to sign up for a Disqus account. I couldn't easily navigate it to change commenting and moderation preferences for sites. But then I began to find the flaws.Īnd I didn’t fully understand what the long-term effects would be.įirst, there's the incomprehensible admin system. I thought Disqus was a great addition to my websites at first. Disqus looks great and has a fast-growing fan base so why not get on board? The slick commenting system is perfect for webmasters that want an upgrade from WordPress's comments system. Many of us eagerly get on board a shiny new product trend. Ashamed to say I blindly followed the crowd but I guess I succumbed to the cult of new technology with a groundswell of followers. Admittedly, I stuck with it because everyone else was using it and it looked to be the ‘way forward’. The Disqus commenting system platform was never one of my favourite website tools.
