I made something similar on my blog and had the same question. I decided to show in my blog only the comments that I liked. Therefore transforming the “like” action into an “I approve” action.

But I have few comments. Not sure if is a good solution for people with a lot of comments.

Bsky has something where only your followers can reply, if you choose.

Would make moderation manageable.
