Disqus was acquired by an advertising firm so I no longer trust them.

Their system also adds 2MB of bloat to the page according to my measurements.

I got rid of it and switched back to stock WordPress comments, with Akismet anti-spam it's good enough for me, although that doesn't work for a jamstack setup.

You should also look into self-hosting Commento!
