Sure. The gist is that Disqus collects your data like no one's business, and other shady things like ads. It's a very popular commenting system because it's free to use and easy to setup, but there's an obvious downside. I would go more in depth but honestly the articles below do a much better job.

I achieve this using https://brid.gy/ (or https://fed.brid.gy/ if you want your blog to appear as a first class member of the Fediverse), though in my case I just syndicate out to Twitter. I then collect the webmentions using https://webmention.io/.
The nice thing about this is I get a breadth of methods for receiving cvomments/reactions across multiple platforms, including anything that directly supports webmention (such as https://micro.blog/, where my posts are also syndicated), without having to do any of the platform-specific wiring myself.
