The author says he wants to switch Disqus to Commento but I wouldn't just do that. I didn't have a great experience with Commento. I like the idea and mostly the execution of it (including the OAuth) but I found some major bugs (Firefox just didn't work at the time) and I didn't get any response to reporting those. I asked a few more questions by mail and also no response. After that I'm gone pretty quick.

Not that I'm saying you should use Disqus since they have some privacy issues



Ditto.

I was excited for Commento and signed up for a paid plan. I even contributed code.[0] The author sent me an onboarding email which included the line, "please reply to this email (I'm a real person)." I replied with some questions about the service and billing, but he never responded. Four months later, nobody has responded to my merge request, either.

I canceled my service at the end of the month.
