Commento > Disqus, but both are still hosted services. While I'd rather pay a few bucks a month and have a faster service without advertising, what I want is a commenting service I can self-host. More than that, I'd like to use a blogging program with an integrated commenting feature so it's not just a bolted on thing.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like the only blogging software that offers self-hosted comments that are integrated into the platform is good ol' Wordpress.org.

Looks like commento can be self hosted. https://gitlab.com/commento/docs/tree/master/installation/se...

I keep meaning to implement the GitHub PR-based comments that Phil Haack has been using. [0] I like the idea of PRs for comments and comments being static YAML files after they are posted.

You've got many, many possibilities to go with [1]. But I agree, nothing beats Wordpress in terms of simplicity. BTW, Commento can be self-hosted.

Even Discourse is ok but you have to go offsite to post, something their owner has been adamant about not supporting. Perhaps there is a big market opportunity here to take the best of what's around and what customers are asking for.
