Removing giscus Comments

Back in January, I added giscus comments to my blog, as a potential way for readers to comment and react to my posts. At the time, I didn’t necessarily have expectations that anyone would, and that has borne out over the past few months.

And so, I’ve decided to bring the giscus experiment to an end. It’s one extra thing my website doesn’t need, and as I continue to reconsider how I use my website, removing cruft and visual clutter is high on the list of potential improvements.

That being said, comments and reactions are still welcome! I may add an email address or other additional contact mechanism in the future to encourage such interactions, but in the meantime, the easiest means of reaching me will be via my Mastodon account.
