I comment on a blog that uses them. 2 days with no updates or notifications. Many people have complained at their customer support. Call their number in San Francisco and no answer. I guess I will stop wasting my time commenting at the blog as I receive no feedback.

Deep political bias?
December 29, 2019

I was shadowbanned from disqus today which is odd because, although I'm conservative, I do my best to be friendly and respectful. Disqus doesn't even acknowledge that it shadowbans, although it does acknowledge that individual sites can shadowban.

Doing some research, I see that being shadowbanned for a conservative POV is not at all unusual.

I really don't even mind the shadowban but I was in the middle of several conversations that were abruptly terminated with the shadowban and there was no acknowledgement of a shadowban.

I will not continue to use disqus on my websites. I feel stupid for not detecting this apparent bias on the part of disqus in the past.

Until today I was unaware that Disqus held a deep political alliance with postmodern progressives. And all this time I thought they were a business promoting free discussion about the information posted on sites that host Disqus. Disqus now appears to be an abomination, a business that censors free discussion. Apparently, they are missing a key emoticon on their homepage, a red hammer and sickle icon.

It used to work but not anymore. ABC news has comments section run by Diqus but you can only read the first few comments and then there are long streaks of black, then nothing... fix it please. This has been going on for a couple of months.

Disqus was embedded in Breitbart and many other platforms. When Disqus didn't like comments that didn't fit with their libtard ideology and realised they couldn't control (censor) them anymore, Disqus removed itself from these bulletin boards. What a hateful approach to life.

It is true that humans have a big impact on the earth. We also have a responsibility to reduce pollution, mass consumerism and waste. We can turn down the heat, reduce, recycle, and use public transport. But regardless - the global climate has never been stable, and never will be stable. The article lost credibility with me when he claimed that Greta Thunberg speaks "prophetic words". The only correlation between climate change and Greta Thunberg - is that both are unstable. I wonder what caused all the climate change a few hundred years ago? Until Greta came along I was sort of on the fence with the whole climate change belief system. But after listening to her and seeing how the media and certain celebrities support her like she is a cultish guru - the more I see it as a complete hoax. After all - illusions of grandeur aside, she is a child who dropped out of school and does not even know what she is talking about. It makes a complete farce out of a complex subject

I have two Disqus accounts. Each is connected to a different email address. As I tend to stay logged in on sites that use Disqus, I forgot my passwords. Today I found that I had been logged out on one of my frequented sites. I went to Disqus to ask a question and found that in order to ask a question, I have to KNOW my password. I then requested a password reset email twice, finally got one 20 minutes later, and read "expired" when I tired to use it. I then request another password reset and got, "down for maintenance". I finally decided to delete my Disqus accounts and found that you cant do that - without a password. This is like hell, a needless, endless circle of pain. I can't log in, I can't reset my password, and I can't close my accounts. Maybe contacting my state attorney general would do something?

DISQUS... TING!
October 30, 2019

Disqus has TWO main purposes: censorship & data mining. Not surprising coming from an Amerikunt corporation. Did you know that the USSA is currently ranked 48th (that's right FORTY-EIGHTH!) on the World Press Freedom Index? A pox on Disqus-ting and a pox on the collapsing third world craphole known as the United States of American'ts.

Disqus sucks.
October 20, 2019

Disqus allows site owners to use their own banned words list.
On pathetic Breitbart they have banned the surname Soros from being posted and even the word Synagogue or Jew.

Why exactly should they have ANY banned words list?
Why not just have a check box that Disqus posters be 18 and over, or else go to a child's forum where words are banned?

Poorly organized and mismanaged site with many non-English speaking mods. Don't waste your time trying to navigate or understand it. It's a deep dark hole of stupidity.

I can go comment on Fox News articles but I am the only one that sees them and I can prove it with pictures of comments an no responses to mine! I use to get lots of responses! If anyone is suing them I want in! I will continue to gather evidence I am being censored! Go to Www.foxnews.com. Read the comments on Young People are quitting their jobs in droves. Here's why... If you can see any comments by sislt777 please let me know because I get no replies an no likes or dislikes! I don't believe anyone sees my comments but me! I have gone to Disgus to get help an they say there's no problem! But I believe I am still banned from commenting!

I will no longer support Breitbart because they use disqus for their comments. I literally get banned everyday to every other day for reasons that DO NOT VIOLATE the rules stated on the site. Breitbart better wake up and get rid of disqus because they are contributing to their readers being silenced. You get banned just for saying George Soros name which is well known and why people spell it in creative ways such as *******@ss s ()r ()s etc

It Sucks!
September 12, 2019

It is terrible! It takes FOREVER to load up, if it ever does. So many sites use it for comments, so many people can't comment. This happens on MS Edge AND Google Chrome. Unfortunately I cant get a pic the size this site allows.

They are shadowbanning and marking as spam political viewpoints they don't agree with. They are intellectual children whose ideas cannot stand up to any debate. They need to be sued out of existence, but they have that Google money so they will continue to perpetuate a false narrative echo chamber until the US Constitution is completely undermined at the behest of their Globalist Masters. I just found out not only are some of my comments across various sites such as The Hill shadowbanned, but my last 20 comments over the course of several months were all removed as "Spam". My comments were not spam they were political debate. Pathetic. This is cowardice manifest.

Disqus sells your data without your permission then bans you without your knowledge if you write something perfectly civil and non confrontational (like your own political opinion, which apparently isn't theirs). If you don't mind censorship from a company that LITERALLY sells you out, spies on you then shuts down your free speech, then Disqus is for you!
