Ask HN: Best Self Hosted Comment System?

43 points

8 years ago

Because every recommendation I see seems to be a Disqus esque service requiring a third party server, or have some dependence on an external business and their 'network'.

So what's the answer for those who want to host every part of the system themselves, with no reliance on third parties? Cause my site has a 'no third parties' policy, which means I want every single aspect self hosted rather than reliant on a service that can either go out of business, shut down, be sold off or be encouraged to stop serving me because of an angry mob.

I'm currently using WP Disqus, but it costs a fortune because of their business model (charging for every extra feature).

Any recommendations here?
