Ok it went through after I had to type in captchas, be told I wasn’t logged in (although I am) and clicked on update account, then came back here. And now I’m logged in on other sites again as well. I can’t delete the disqus account at disqus without losing my avatar and username. That’s what happened last week.
I did but don’t forget, when you sign up for brownstoner it creates a disqus account. What I just did now was go to disqus.com and specifically sign out of the account there. Supposedly that should not affect my account on brownstoner so let’s see if this post goes through.
I did that last week and my avatar disappeared and my username from posts here on brownstoner. But if you go to another site that uses disqus, does it show your brownstoner name and avatar?
Me too. And my takeaway is that if you are part of disqus, any site using disqus that you go on will also access your information. But your disqus profile can only show what info you put in. So put in nothing.

I don’t know technically how it does it but I feel its a privacy issue also and also thinking about no longer posting for that reason too.
Yes
And you don’t need to be signed in with that site either. Because disqus centralizes everything. I am really unhappy about this.
