Maybe using GitHub comments would eliminate some of the "don't look at the comments, don't look at the comments, don't look at the comments" existential-level dread that comes with having enabled other comment-engines and seeing that you've got a new comment waiting (for moderation ...since, long ago, had to change to 'approve-to-go-live' comments to reduce the amount of comment-spam).

I wonder if there's a way to move/copy comments from discus to there.

such scripts do exist, but the author would be whatever the Github commenter's author is, so you'd have to modify the username or something within comment text
