Your goal are the comments feature are not compatible
Your goal "to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions" isn't really compatible with the comments feature. I'll speculate that you're going to end up in a never-ending policing effort if you continue down this path. You may want to rethink your intentions and create a feature that's compatible with your goal, like a hobby interest forum. Or better yet, consider this wild and crazy idea... pick a goal that's compatible with the comments feature and bring it back.
