I’m tentatively adding back comment capability to Burningbird. It already exists if you access the Burningbird Mastodon account (@bosslady@burningbird.net@mastodon.social). If you reply to a Mastodon post, it shows up here as a comment. And if I reply, it shows up in Mastodon.
But not everyone has Mastodon. However, I’m also not sure how willing folks are to comment on weblogs. It’s not like the old days, where we had some pretty amazing conversations in our weblogs. Most discussion now happens in social media, such as Facebook, or Threads, or Mastodon, or whatever.
Still, as long as I’m not overrun with sp*m like the last time I turned comments on, we’ll see how it goes.

@bosslady Fingers crossed for you. I turned off comments on my blog years ago when it hit 90% spam.
Hoping it works. The Mastodon integration works really well, and I was tempted to keep just it. But not everyone has a Mastodon account. At a minimum, I’ll keep the Mastodon integration.
