Isso is a lightweight commenting server written in Python and JavaScript. It aims to be a drop-in replacement for Disqus. Users can edit or delete own comments (within 15 minutes by default). Comments in moderation queue are not publicly visible before activation. You can migrate your Disqus/WordPress comments without any hassle. Embed a single JS file, 40kb (12kb gzipped) and you are done. It allows anonymous comments, maintains identity and is simple to administrate. It uses JavaScript and cross-origin resource sharing for easy integration into (static) websites. No anonymous comments (IP address, email and name recorded), hosted in the USA, third-party. Just like IntenseDebate, livefrye etc. When you embed Disqus, they can do anything with your readers.
