I find this to be very interesting:
Many websites use Disqus as their comment engine some of which have images enabled, so great places for posting memes. Just in the last few minutes, it seems impossible to post on, as the most recent posts i can find are 20 minutes old
Also, a recent rewrite of their TOS and privacy policy, in the last week, and many logout, after previous long periods of time of being conti loudly logged in on any given device
Has there been a recent purchase of Disqus, I wonder? Might be worth a dig, smells bad enough, could be swamp gas
