Facebook has limited the number of comments displayed to unsubscribed readers.

Let me remind you: andorro on December 19 last year told us that some site builders are saving efforts by refraining from creating their own comment system. For such savings, the site hosts ready-made widgets that are intended for the members of the social network Facebook or VKontakte or Disqus to leave comments. Sometimes multiple networks at once. It is also common for readers: it’s not necessary to log in, logging into the site, because it is enough for them to be logged in to “their” social network.

However, this approach has its drawbacks. For example , Semenych on December 25 last year suggested that the participation of all site commentators on the same social network prompts them to move away from the topic of the page under discussion - for example, to move away towards finding new acquaintances.

The other day I discovered another flaw:
')


And that's how it happened.

I have been calling back from time to time to read the site “ Kill Mi Plz! ”Containing stories of people driven to the last extreme of despair and willingness to die. Opportunities to comment on stories (and in general for the communication of readers) were, frankly, not hand to file - in a forum on another subdomain , where you still had to search for a forum topic dedicated to one or another site history. Therefore, I was glad when in 2012, Kill Mi Plz! Website used the Facebook API and screwed the comment widget for the participants of this social network.

Joy was short-lived.

The face widget initially displays only the three most high-rated comments (and also, perhaps, one response to them, if any). The first few months it was still possible to click on the “View more” button so that three more of the remaining comments were transmitted and displayed via AJAX, and so on until the bitter end. But shortly before the New Year, it became impossible: Facebook requires you first to go and login to Facebook.

For a reader like me who does not want to join Facebook, this widget has become even more useless than a forum that can be read without registration.

It would be better if the creators of the site "Kill Mi Plz!" Connected comments Disqus or VKontakte.
