Disqus

Disqus is a comment hosting service that website owners embed to add threaded discussion sections beneath articles, blog posts, and other content. It replaces native commenting systems with a platform that handles user identity, moderation, spam filtering, and comment storage across participating sites. Publishers, bloggers, and media outlets use it to foster reader engagement and build community discussion around their content without building their own commenting infrastructure. The platform offers moderation tools such as pre-moderation queues, keyword blacklists, and user banning to help site owners manage conversation quality and reduce abusive or spam content. Disqus also provides publishers with audience analytics and advertising products, allowing them to monetize traffic and understand reader behavior alongside the commenting functionality.
