I added a Bluesky comment section to my blog

→ original

I love the idea of having my website directly connected to the fediverse. A bluesky comment section is really cool. I instead turned my website into an ActivityPub actor. I don't have comments setup though. I bet I can do something similar.

There are other services that could be used for this purpose instead. Notably, I could embed replies from the social media formerly known as Twitter. Or I could use a platform like Disqus or even giscus, which hosts comments on GitHub Discussions. But I see Bluesky as a clearly superior choice among these options. For one, Bluesky is built on top of an open social media platform in AT Proto, meaning it can't easily be taken over by an authoritarian billionaire creep. Moreover, Bluesky is a full-fledged social media platform, which naturally makes it a better option for hosting a conversation than GitHub.
