Replaced Disqus with Mastodon-powered comments on my Hugo blog. The idea clicked as soon as I read @getajobmike's post. One tootId in the frontmatter, a web component by @dpecos doing the fetching, and Disqus is gone. No tracking. No ads.
RE: https://fsoc.lol/2026/01/26/looking-for-self-hosting-companions/Still figuring out the best way to interact with the #fediverse. I think at the moment and the way #mastodon integrates with #wordpress it's best to primarily use the infosec.exchange account and limit @site to community / website updates.Anybody else on their #selfhosting journey? Or interested in following along?
I am waiting for ActivityPub and the Fediverse to make an appearance. I would suspect that the "expensive and annoying game of whack-a-mole" will start to get very hard to manage.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-04/when-is-the-teen-social-media-ban-what-apps-are-banned/106086152#auspol #activitypub #mastodon #pixelfed #fediverse #socialmedia
@tj @stefano In fairness, looking (from the outside) at the upgrade experiences of a number of #Mastodon nodes where I have accounts, the latest of which was an aborted 4.4 to 4.5 upgrade on one node (not this one) that lost a day's worth of data, I think that we can put this down to the general nature of the Mastodon upgrade process rather than the platform that it runs on.Mind you, I have yet to hear of a large complex WWW-involved system with SQL-back ends where upgrades are *not* fraught with pitfalls.
