It's necessary to approach the findings with some reservations, however. Some of Disqus's data is presented in a way to promote its own system over Facebook's third-party commenting plugin, which has quickly gained traction among some 400,000 third-party publishers to date. At the end of its infographic on the study, for instance, Disqus points out that pseudonymous commenters account for 61% of all comments, without noting the percentage of such commenters versus those using their (presumably true) Facebook identities.
That said, there's plenty of evidence to support Disqus's findings -- Reddit's and Gawker's comments sections being prime examples.
