Description

### Impacted plugin

Jetpack

### What

Comments are disabled on Jetpack app if not opting in for Jetpack Comments

### How

Currently, the Jetpack app doesn't support the comment feature unless the Jetpack Comments is enabled. Personally, I don’t really like how we are (kind of) forced to activate Jetpack Comments in order to let people comment using the Jetpack app. I still want to use the default WordPress comment form on my desktop/mobile website, because I have no control over CSS used for Jetpack Comments (because CSS are within iframe). Thank you for your kind consideration.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the Jetpack app currently handles comments and how enabling Jetpack Comments affects that behavior. Determine whether the default WordPress comment form can remain active while app comments work, then define the supported behavior and acceptance criteria with maintainers.
