@davidrevoy Sad, but understandable. Moderation is one of the challenges of our times and maybe something that can only work in communities where we can help each other.
FWIW, if you ever revisit this there's a thing called cactus comments which basically implements comments via the matrix chat protocol, so your comment section is like a matrix room (and AFAIK you can moderate it in a similar way to matrix rooms, so others could help you). https://cactus.chat/
