Just looking at the Utterances site, this sticks out:
No lock-in. All data stored in GitHub issues.
...so you can just migrate those comments somewhere else if you don't want to use Github anymore? If not, I'd call that textbook lock-in.
For what it's worth: I self-host gitea, and it gives me the possibility to import not only repos but also issues, projects, etc from GitHub, gitlab, bit bucket, and a handful of others.
I don't know if Utterances can work with gitea's API. If it does, then in theory you should be able to migrate to gitea from GitHub for this use case.
I was genuinely wondering if it was that portable. Thanks for the info!
