Disqus is a $#*!!
March 10, 2025
Updated review

I write a comment on X not working worldwide, and they mark my comment as spam! They must really hate Americans on the Spectrum such as myself. All the more reasons why President Trump should have these bad companies shut down for discriminating people like myself. Make DEI an arrestable offense. Put these criminal griefers in the dirtiest prisons known to man.

Disqus is a Regimist Dick!
January 16, 2024
Previous review

Now, about YouTube and its fecal ridden garbage, I write a comment saying that I want the Feds to lock up Neal Mohan, and they idiotically flag it as spam! I want justice, not Nazis taking over the Goddamn internet! If Joe Biden is reading this comment, he has failed his people. In fact, I might actually vote for Trump. It's time for these pea brained penises to stop censoring the dissatisfied consumers!

Don't waste your time with Disqus. No matter how polite or benign a comment it is, their algorithms are designed to remove them. All opinions must agree with the algorithms. I only commented that I lived in a state where tornadoes are frequent, but I have never actually seen one, myself, and Disqus found this offensive.

Sincerely, several times, I avoid this platform after the stupidity I came across such as creating a stupid account but they won't let you log in. I changed the password I don't know how many times, used either the email address or the username. The site still malfunction and says one of the three is invalid. But am I a moron when I used the reset function with my email address and you don't care if the password is highly protected or not? Just go change job!

Disqus Sucks
April 29, 2022

Just like YouTube Disqus does massive shadow censorship. They also put you in Disqus jail (your comment might not show up for an hour or two or even 24 hrs as in my case). My comments are never published in real time. I would give Disqus 0 stars if I could.

2.24 out of 5 is appropriate for Disqus.
Level 1 support is made of "Cookie" moderators whose canned response is allow ALL cookies as an answer to most problems.
Level 2 support says they will look into and even try to duplicate the issue but are about as credible as the "cookie moderators" responses… wait, wait, wait and respond with a "can not duplicate" even though you supply them with your userid, authorize them to use it and provide before, during and after problem screen shots.
NOT an additional web resource I would recommend to any web developer. To many issues encountered with different web browsers that Disqus passes off to websites when they control user login and use environments.

Disqus is fine, if you're left wing and woke. If not, they will censor anything you post if it goes against their left agenda. I believe everyone should have an equal say, left and right. No one should be censored for their feelings or beliefs. If you're going to post on Disqus, then you might as well post on Facebook and Twitter... they all censor any type of conservatism.

Most comment sections want to use social media crap or make a disqus account. I hate social media and have no interest in giving disqus any information. I could make a burner email just to comment, but that's a ton of effort just to let a blogger know I appreciated their story. Feels like a middle man trying to get between users to get a cut, but instead of money, it's info they can sell. Superfluous.

Disqus pretends to have comment moderation policies; in the last day, I've seen a comment saying "millions of liberals should be shot" and a comment calling a black woman a type of animal as a racist slur.

Neither were removed after multiple reports. Disqus endorses calls for mass murder and dehumanizing hate speech every time they refuse to remove them despite direct policies and criminal statutes against leaving them public.

You can log in and out 10 times and it still wont let you post without "authentication". It slows the lates M1/M2 MacBooks to a crawl and causes them to overheat due to "significant memory usage" whenever engaging with Disqus. All around, pure trash.

I visited a few different news sites that use disquist for the commentary underneath the articles. My comments keep getting Automatically deleted. When I go to my profile it shows me the comments but it says that they were "Auto detected for spam" and deleted. It's pretty frustrating because I never spam comments. However I've seen other users write the exact same comments over and over under some of the articles and those are not even deleted. In my opinion they're just using this as a way of censorship to delete comments from people who they don't agree with what they're saying. I've stopped visiting any sites that use disquis for their comments. Disquis can go f themselves. I will not be sad if some hackers crash their systems.

All of my responses are flagged as spam lately. I'm permitted to make an initial post but when I want to respond to other commenters, they are flagged as spam. I tried three times but all spam. I clicked the link to review my responses to reconsider but no success.

Great Experience
May 13, 2022

I was looking for a legitimate person to fix my credit score. It was so bad that I was denied numerous times getting anything so I needed help. I read about a credit specialist on a credit blog and I hired him. I noticed after a couple of days he had already cleared all negatives including my taxes and raised my score to an excellent 795. I qualified for a business loan. Should you need help fixing your credit, Contact (Hightechrepair at WriteMe dot Com).

The company has posted editorials claiming that the more a discussion is censored the higher it is in quality, and that that isn't censorship at all. Orwell would clap at such impeccable doublethink. Disqus embraces all kinds of unethical conduct, like shadow bans, fake posting (where it seems to the poster the comment was posted but it wasn't), post hiding via voting (aka argumentum ad populum, one of the most basic fallacies), and allowing moderators to be openly hostile toward some minority groups while simultaneously blocking posts containing innocuous words. Even removing the words the overzealous system flags, prior to posting the comment, is enough to have the post blocked regardless.

Disqus seems to be someone thumbing their nose at others more than anything.

Detected as spam
March 3, 2016

For almost a year now, anything I post on Disqus is "Detected as spam" or if I attempt to make a new post rather than comment on some article "Marked as spam".

It is depressing that so many websites and blogs use Disqus when there are many other viable commenting systems. I try to avoid sites that rely on this terrible format.

Biased
May 29, 2018

Continually marks comments as SPAM. Stifle meaningful conversation due to personal bias. Run by a group of bigots. This is how they sensor you. This company has no right monitoring discussion boards. All places that incorporate disqus would be better off without it.

We need no more hate in this world. Maybe disqus needs an overhaul, get rid of trash sites, Raw is prime for the garbage can, when a place promotes hate against our police force, they need to be dropped

Quit reminding me!
October 24, 2018

This site keeps pointing out Trump's mistakes and lies. I am already well aware that he is a moron and will watch him speak if I need reminding. I get tired of having to log in constantly, and reading the same familiar things. From now on, everything Disqus goes to SPAM garbage.

Run by Fascists
August 27, 2018

I noticed I got shadow banned around the same time that infowars was cut from their service. I went from 10+ comment replies per day to nothing for the last 18 days now. I am still commentating on all the other sites I use save infowars. Yet oddly no is replying anymore. Almost like my posts are invisible to everyone except me.

Real great quality service that. When you cannot counter argue you just shut their speech down like a fascist.

Disqus has been nothing but a hassle to try to use as an interaction tool. Every time I post something that someone doesn't agree with (there's ALWAYS someone & it tends to be a zealot of some sort) all they have to do is type "@troll" and my post gets kicked off. It's happened enough times that Disqus banned me causing me to have to re-register. So basically they have enabled bullies in censoring the voices & opinions of those they want to shut up. Nice job Disqus! (Addendum: have been banned, again, not worth it to keep re-registering. What a disgusting display of censorship. Disqus really does allow Bigots, Racists & Zealots to control the comment sections - That tells us all we need to know)

I noticed that not one media outlet on Disqus is conservative, not one. If this is the direction censorship is moving then we all need to really widen our eyes and see between the lines. I would never wish to silence any side, as I am a believer in freedom of speech. Last time I chimed in, death threats were bombarded at me. It's insane. For your own sanity find a better place to debate. Let the people their continue with their insane antics.
