I usually notice if my blog gets on Hacker News fairly soon, so I'll see any comments posted here.

I prefer not to use email for most things because then the reply only benefits one person, whereas replies in a public forum can be read by others and get indexed by search engines.

I've been thinking about creating a Matrix room for each blog post as a discussion forum, but so far most posts have ended up on other discussion sites anyway.

Regarding the performances issues that you had with Qubes: I once disabled power management on one of my laptop and it moves Qubes from barely usable to usable.

Still close to unusable: Web conferences in the browser (webex for example).

I think that some blogs have email lists as discussion forum with each thread devoted to one post, but I can't come up with examples right now. If the email list archive is public, it might be the perfect solution.
