I'm really battling myself about adding the comment feature to my website... I don't want to fall into the trap of creating for an audience (like it was on social media) but i also would like for people to be able to connect with me based on shared interests without having to commit to an actual conversation if they don't wish to do so... tough choice xD

i've found that cbox is good for this. my guestbook and email are there if anyone wants to talk but cbox is nice for shorter stuff. and no one can like/react to comments there so it's not too social media-y
I do have chatboxes too but usually I don't get many replies to what i post on my microblog over there xD i have likes on my posts but at the same time i dont want it to be toooo social media-y xD
I'm going through the exact dilemma XD. You could always make it and then test the waters. If you're unhappy, you can remove it. The experience is better than not knowing. It would be a good learning opportunity
@5p4c3m4n thats so true, its the good thing about having a personal website, i can add, tweak and remove anything at anytime xD would be a good learning opportunity indeed
