The blog itself doesn't feel like a discussion platform to me like HN, reddit, etc. Those platforms have systems, rules, moderators, etc. for dealing with more free-form discussions. I personally never read comments on blogs and I find having a "Contact Me" link at the bottom is better. On my blog I use a gmail account and a template for new articles so I get `[Contact Me](emailto:my.email+shorttitle@gmail.com)` so they're easy to categorize.

Sure but not all blogs are posted on HN.

But yeah these days you could technically have a reddit thread on your user page for each of your blog posts.

But how is that different than mastodon? At least you can self-host mastodon.
