Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite Ayush Sharma's 2017 post about killing Disqus as support for concerns about Disqus privacy and performance, and one commenter links his list of commenting alternatives.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Mostly because of privacy and performance issues [0][1]. Additionally, you may not want to force your readers to register to Disqus to leave a comment (you can post as a guest without an account, but this is quite hidden).

HN discussion> I don't know why Disqus thought it was ok to add HTML and outbound links without even sending an email first. Disqus has proven time and again to not value user privacy [0]. I've been maintaining a blog post [1] with many alternatives to choose from. [0] https://notes.ayushsharma.in/2017/09/im-killing-disqus-comme... [1] https://darekkay.com/blog/static-site-comments/
