For a brief amount of time, I had a proper comment section on my blog. It was based on selfhosting isso. But it was a pain to handle the spam and it was rarely used by anyone. So I decided to remove it. Some of that is because although it was there, people used to contact me through email or through mattermost with CERN folks who are the majority of people who will find my blog by chance searching for something similar.

So that I got some valuable suggestions, information and discussions through these two channels, It was not my expectation but I am happy with it. Of course email is used by people who don't know about melashri in CERN mattermost which is technically used by CERN folks (including the majority of CERN users which I'm one of them).

I will not have any comment system and I like it this way. My blog is niche and personal and the traffic to it is two digits on average per day. I understand this and I post here for my own sake and for the sake of those who might find it useful.

The fact also that I don't use any social media makes this more interesting, No one would reach me through Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. I don't maintain any presence on these platforms or any other platform for that matter. onI would like to keep it this way. So the only way to reach me is through email or CERN mattermost. Or maybe by chance you can find me at CERN R1 (The center of universe) eating my Margaritha pizza in a way that will anger most of my italian friends.
