Absolutely appauling service

Absolutely appauling service. Every time I use it it says that my account has been deactivated because of inactivity,and forces me to change my password. But the emails to reset passwords take ages to arrive, and then when they do, the links in them are invalid! Unbelievable!

Completely useless discussion platform
Reviewed on 2021-02-12T13:25:58
Completely useless discussion platform. All another user of the site needs to do is click "mark asspam" and thats it you are banned from that site for life given the sites admin don't do anything to reverse it afterwards or probably even know how and the disqus app team claims its the site admin teams responsibilty to change it. Totally useless. All a troll would ever need to do is sign up and click everyone on that site is spam and nobody could ever post on it again. That is how stupid this is.

The site states it is monitored but trolling is rife.

Trash app

Poor app. If you post some few views from different "politic segment" then majority of visitors of a given site (or its owner)are, your next posts here are qualified as spam. Ideal tool for censors in all totalitarian regimes. No feedback nor claims possible, just notice "Pending" or "Thanks, we'll work on getting this corrected". I'd recommend to rename this app from Disqus to ShutUp!

Always use a VPN when using this site

Always use a VPN when using this site, since these terrorists sell your info. Otherwise,it's not a bad comment app but can be glitchy sometimes.

Terrible crappy site and service

So the first thing is apparently they track your computer IP address, so even if someone else in your household tries to sign up - they can't.Secondly they are - like some others have commented - Nazis. Yes they ban people from just one comment that they don't agree with. It doesn't even have to have four letter words or nasty words ( they have those too, and the users are often not banned) If just one moderator doesn't agree with you, then you're BANNED. ABC News is a great one for this. You cannot add another account under another email - oh, no, because they track the IP address. What other info are they tracking? Well THAT'S a good question. I understand it's a Chinese company. Trump banning Tik Tok? Hmm, maybe he should ban this? As other posts have mentioned, the site is also slanted towards liberals
( I'm independent) and I also find this abhorrent. If you ask for an email code to rest password, by the way, you will likely not get it.

Beware of doing business with a company that doesn't have any help/support for issues.

I received notifications from my credit monitoring company that my information had been breached through Disqus.I have been desperately trying to access my account and see what's going on. The Disqus website has been sending me in one big loop. Not allowing me to log in. Not sending me password reset emails. I have sent over 100 at this point ( and no they aren't in my junk/spam folder). I have followed all the suggestions on the site. They also ignored me on all social networks and emails where I've begged for help. My information was compromised and I've been locked out of my account desperately trying to get in for 6 months now. Disqus doesn't care about users one bit! They will sell your information and lock you out of your account. My conclusion is that this company consists of like 3 guys. One who markets, another handles the bank accounts and the third goes around leaving fake positive reviews on sites like these to bury the comments that are exposing them. Theres absolutely no one that helps with issues.

User-unfriendly with no human interface
Reviewed on 2020-04-23T12:11:00
I subscribe to The Spectator online magazine, who have devolved the management of the 'below the article'comments section, to Disqus.
I am unable to publish any comments on articles and this has been the case for six weeks. Between The Spectator (about whom I have left a similar scathing review) and Disqus I have been given a complete run-round in trying to sort out this seemingly straightforward issue.
At least with the Spectator I can e-mail an actual human being, even though they are useles, consistently eithr pointing me at Disqus or saying they are 'investigating my issue' (with an occsional side order of 'how they take these things very seriously - sure they do!)
There's no such interactions with Disqus.
Just an endless paternoster of forums (no) help groups, click-throughs and 'was this helpful' messages.
I believe Disqus are based in California but it may as well be Jupiter for all the help they are
