Embedded Discussions

Starting Feb 28th, 2026, Veritula supports embedded discussions. Use them to add comments and criticism chains to third-party websites.

Say you want to add a commenting feature to your blog. Head over to Settings, section ‘Embed comments’, and copy the shown snippet. It’ll look something like this:

html
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://veritula.com/embed.js"
data-public-user-id="<populated for you>"
data-url="<replace>">
</script>

Replace the data-url value with a canonical URL of the page where you want to show comments. Then paste the snippet on that page.

Comments posted in an embedded discussion will appear both in the embed and on Veritula.

This feature is in early beta.

Forum Rules

Veritula welcomes a wide range of discussion topics. Generally speaking, people have free speech here. Unpopular topics will not automatically get people banned. The goal of moderation is to preserve productive, truth-seeking discussion.

Behavior that is intended, or likely, to sabotage debate or prevent progress is a bannable offense. Such behavior includes, but is not limited to, harassment, brigading, rage baiting, public shaming, and persistent bad-faith argumentation or refusal to engage substantively.

Veritula takes intellectual property seriously and reserves the right to take down content that infringes on others’ intellectual property.

Veritula also reserves the right to take down obscene content such as pornography.

Serious instances of off-platform behavior that clearly would have violated these rules on-platform may result in removal.

Depending on the severity of an infraction, moderators may issue a warning, temporarily lock an account, or permanently ban the account.

Looking for loopholes in these rules, or abusing the letter to violate the spirit of these rules, is a bannable offense.

Moderation decisions are at the discretion of Veritula.

Users may appeal moderation decisions by contacting the moderators within a reasonable time after a decision. Appeals should explain why the decision was wrong. Appeals are reviewed at the moderators’ discretion. The same decision may be appealed only once.

Talks with moderators should remain respectful and constructive. Changes to these rules should be proposed by criticizing this idea before issues arise.

Site-wide terms apply as well.

This was a big week for Veritula. Users can now:

  • ✍️ Post ideas to their own profile, and others’ profiles, outside of discussions. (Beta)
  • 🔄 Repost ideas.
  • 🙋‍♂️ Set a profile description under Settings. Tell others about yourself!
  • 💻 Embed discussions on third-party sites. Similar feature to Disqus and Giscus. Ideal for comments on blogs, say. See the embed code under Settings. (Early beta)

If I mute a discussion, does that stop me from getting notifications from the people I follow, when they interact with that discussion?

Yes.

As a rule of thumb, specificity beats generality. For example, if you follow someone but mute a discussion, you won’t be notified of their posts in that discussion. But if you then subscribe to a specific thread in that muted discussion, you will get notifications for that thread.

There are exceptions. If you mute someone, you’ll never be notified of their actions, no matter how specific.

Also, did you know you can follow people? Click the bell icon when you visit someone’s profile.

Try appending /latest to the link. I still need to expose this feature somehow, but you can use that in the meantime.

Doesn’t the ‘Search’ tab offer what you want? I could rename it to ‘Posts’. Maybe ‘Ideas’.

But having a separate model isn’t exactly keeping things simple either.

#4419​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago​·​CriticismArchived

To keep things simple. This is just an MVP.

Extend the existing Discussion model to have a nullable embed_url. An embedded discussion would not have a title.

#4417​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago​·​Archived

That would prevent existing discussions from being embedded on other sites. But why prevent that?

#4416​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago​·​CriticismArchived

Create an EmbeddedDiscussion model, separate from Discussion.

#4415​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago​·​Criticized1Archived

That would mean people couldn’t programmatically use embed codes, like on their blogs. They would always have to manually go into V and create a discussion first.

#4414​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago​·​CriticismArchived

Option 2: an embed code is shown on your profile, with a page-url attribute you fill in. That’s the page where you place the code. The first time someone posts a comment, the associated discussion is created. Instead of a title, the discussion gets assigned the URL. That way, people seeing the discussion on V can open the URL for context.

Idea: embedded discussions on third-party websites.

You could use your own definition of justificationism that equates it to foundationalism. But then you’d want to explain that choice.

Regardless, we’re getting too bogged down on terms. I think at this point it would be easier for you to just change your article so it either uses established terms with their accepted definitions or explains departures from them.

#4408​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 7 days ago

No, I’m saying the model you’re using claims they’re the same thing, contrary to your prior agreement in #4392. They’re still not actually the same thing, see #4387.

#4407​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 7 days ago​·​Criticism

In that model, the final justification ends up serving as foundation.
