StrypeyFirst time I've seen Cactus Comments deployed in the wild;
https://wrily.foad.me.uk/cactus-comments-in-writefreely
It's a matrix-based comment system that can be added to static sites. In this case, a WriteFreely blog.
Vint Prox@hardwyrd #ActivityPub integration would be more appropriate for the comments system. #CactusComments creates one-off rooms for separate articles on a whim, which is almost the same fragmentation problem as #XMPP for #PeerTube live chats. OK, former at least provides user a room link, but it's still the wrong tool for the job.

Asbjørnwhat.
Cactus Comments has now seen over 1.2 million unique users - only counting guest users on our free public instance.
Guest users on instances not hosted by us and signed in users on any server don't even count in this statistic.
cactus.chat has to be the Matrix server with most guest users at this point...
I keep spotting cactus in the wild as well. Last week I saw someone using it for the comment section of a livestream! So cool.
GaffenI'm also looking at getting #CactusComments on my blog. I think it looks like a really cool way of handling comments!
Peter Steiner 🇨🇭🇺🇦(he/him)I‘ve published a #blogpost about the integration of #Cactus into my #Hugo-powered blog:
Petar Toushkov"Cactus Comments is a federated comment system for the web, based on the Matrix protocol."

LostI'm considering ways to add comments to my #staticsite. If you have any recs, please let me know! I'm currently looking into #talkyard (https://www.talkyard.io), #staticman (https://staticman.net), & #cactuscomments (https://cactus.chat). Disqus is off the table due to tracking & ads. I use #jekyll to generate my Neocities site if that matters.
MoanosHave you ever heard of #CactusComments ?
It is super easy to add a comment section to your blog - and it is powered by #Matrix
If you need help setting it up feel free to ask me

ruffyI added #CactusComments to my blog the other day. Means, that people can now officially and publicly bash against the grammar gore I write 
Cactus is a heavily slimmed-down #FLOSS #Matrix client that you can easily embed to your website. Coolest thing is, that it's actually Matrix, so your visitors and you can moderate/write/read comments with your fav Matrix client.
KUDOS to the Cactus folks. Great work!
