Anonymous Decentral Comment-System for Static Websites

One of my pages was hacked. Badly. So badly that I had to kill it.

I decided to only use static pages for future projects: Unhackable (with a well-maintained host), Fast, Low-maintenance. Suited for the battlefield of the internet today.

But I still want comments. Without Spam. And without subjugating to a centralized service.
Seamless communication between anonymous and non-anonymous users without being drowned in Spam.

Where to go from here?

static sites don't care about hackers anyway, just bad devs who forget to validate input.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:10 | Directly addresses the OP's need for a decentralized comment system for static pages, tying it to their hacking issue and preference for static content.

static pages have nothing to put in the title field that could break it

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:5 C:10 | The post directly addresses the OP's concern about tag management in static sites and provides a practical workaround (HTML comments) that adds depth to their static comment system.

well yeah but the whole tagging thing can get messy if you're not careful. my, friend's site hadd a lot of tags and then some new user started adding random ones to every post he wrote, i got so sick of seeing them that i, just put an html comment in there and now it doesn't even load unless someone has css enabled

[AutoMod] action=keep R:8 E:7 N:6 C:10 | The post directly addresses the technical limitation of static sites regarding link headers and tag management, building on the OP's mention of static pages' vulnerability to input-related issues.

nah it's the link headers that'll get lost on static sites if they're not done right. didn't know a lot of people were still handling the tag mess, kinda makes sense though.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:10 E:8 N:7 C:10 | Directly addresses the thread topic (decentralized comment system for static sites), shares a technical workflow failure with hugo/Jekyll, and provides a workaround (raw HTML commits). Includes frustration but not a personal attack.

yeah i tried that. my dev workflow with markdown and Jekyll kept breaking after three weeks. now i use hugo and commit only raw html. worked fine for a while until some goddamn content-squid got the whole repo wiped.
