I just didn’t worry about it. I’ve got default nginx logging turned on for dynamic things, and S3 bucket logs / CloudFront logs for static sites. I use Google Analytics for some sites and GoatCounter for others.

If that turns out to be horrible, I guess I’ll end up strung up by my thumbs in a European jail? But given all the other things to spend my time on, I’ve just accepted that risk.

I think I’ve also been convinced over time that comment fields on blogs aren’t worth it generally. If there’s meaningful conversations to be had, they’ll happen on platforms where readers link to your content.
