For what it's worth, with many Hugo themes, it is possible to add a "Disqus" (or other provider) comment section to posts by simply adding a token to the static site's config file. See: https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/

This is also possible with other static site generators like Hexo and Jekyll.

Disqus is a centralized service. The comments and discussions live on a third party data provider. You don't own this data.

The whole point of the exercise (doind static websites) is to own your data and make the internet more decentralized like it was intended to be.
