damn good take on the rms situation

I don't think english is this person's first language and I want to be clear that I'm not making fun of non-native english writers, but the demands and accusations in this email are just *bonkers*.

@dthompson this is all incredibly depressing, but as an aside your blog software looks pretty neat and this has reminded me that i want to give guix a look.
@brennen thanks! the software is just a static site generator, which is why there are no comments. you'd have to add disqus integration with javascript or something in order to have comments.
@dthompson yeah, i maintain one of those myself (of which, as far as i have been able to tell the last 18 years or so, i have always been the sole user) and have come to view the absence of comments as belonging strongly to the "feature" category.
@brennen the venn diagram of "all programmers" and "programmers who have their own static site generator" is a circle.
also I absolutely agree that lack of comments is a feature. no spam to control, no trolls to block. it's wonderful.
@dthompson @brennen I've wondered if you could substitute a fediverse thread for a comment system; like if the blog post was exposed via activitypub, you could either display a JS widget or link to the AP-hosted copy of the post which could show the replies?
@technomancy @brennen now *that's* a cool idea!
@brennen @dthompson @technomancy I've done that once, inspired by Bradley Kuhn using identi.ca for his blog.
