## What it is
Commento is a lightweight, privacy-focused comments platform written in Go that you embed in your website to let readers comment. It supports markdown, Disqus import, voting, spam detection, moderation, OAuth login, single sign-on, and email notifications without ads or tracking.

## Use cases
- add a comment section to my blog without ads
- replace Disqus with a privacy-friendly comments widget
- self-host a lightweight commenting system
- embed comments on a static site
- import existing comments from Disqus
- add single sign-on comments to a website

## When to choose
- you want a fast, ad-free, privacy-respecting comment widget
- you need self-hosting and Disqus import
- page weight matters and Disqus is too heavy

## When to avoid
- you need active development or new features - the project is in maintenance mode
- you want a fully managed free hosted service
- you need modern social login providers beyond its supported set
