I may have found an alternative solution to my blog's commenting system! 😺

The synchronization of comments from my Mastodon account. It's something I tried and abandoned, but I'm giving it another try after reading your comments. Well, I explain more on the blog and also share the source code:

Bonus: Because I'm happy, here's a happy Mastodon mascot as a postman that I painted this morning.

@davidrevoy This is awesome! 👏🤓

Given you said spam was a problem with the previous commenting system, does this mean you consider Mastodon to be reasonably free from spam?

I sort of live in fear that Mastodon might suffer an influx of bots. Especially given it's decentralised, so presumably any instance could contribute unless your instance admin defederates from them.

@ollie Thanks! Yes, I think the moderation and collective works of all user here with the report buttons makes the place pretty safe.
I received insult, p0rn, spam, but very rarely, and it was removed after a simple click on the three dots and reporting them. Actually, I wish this post will attract one or two post of this type. I'm curious if the API would list the message if I block an account.
