Strangely enough WPtavern is using Postmatic but comments are not native but loading (slowly) in javascript. Looking into the source code, I see Epoch there.

We're going a bit off topic. I hope you are able to remain true to those ideals of the sanctity of user data. I've seen so many services fail that test over time (especially during changes of ownership) that it still concerns me.

PS. If your servers are US-based, you won't be able to keep those promises even if you want to as anything on your servers belongs to the government at all times. Concrete example: in the case of commenting software, there could be political sites where people prefer to comment under aliases.
