understandable. login-with-classic would be based and register pilled.
I wanted a comment system where folks could just specify a nickname and a comment (and optionally an email address), but all the comment systems I tried that were well-integrated with my CMS were clunky, shitty, bad, and other adjectives. The biggest complaint I have is that none of them allowed you to just specify a nickname w/o anything else, you had to comment anonymously or register on the site.
Maybe it would be better to make the blog add threads here and link to here for comments / embed a preview. Kind of like what Garry/Facepunch used to do with their blogs, where it would link you to a thread powered by some other, more capable, batteries-included software.
