Side note: Has Disqus ever worked, for anyone?

I've tried dozens of times over the past few years. It never provides a 'logged in' comment box. Once I login, if i try to login again, it complains about a form submission error. I've never bothered to troubleshoot because mostly I want to avoid using Disqus but a couple times a year I decide to give it a go, and.. nothing. I have or had an account, which doesn't seem to work. I've also tried to use Twitter integration, which seems the least-bad (because my twitter account is rarely used for anything anyway).

You can see the Disqus comments, but if you post a comment, then, that won't work?

If you have time, maybe you'd like to go here: https://www.kajmagnus.blog/new-embedded-comments and scroll down and try posting a comment, and tell me if you run into problems? (That's a different commenting system; I'm developing it. And it'd be nice to find out if there are unknown problems preventing people like you from posting comments ... Maybe the same thing as with Disqus, and I could fix the problem in my case?)

Sounds like an adblocker or something blocking a resource that Disqus "requires" in order to function.
I don't run 'em, but could be something built into Safari. I always figure "oh, maybe it's an early product, they'll fix it".. but disqus has been around awhile :)
