 "thanks to [some interpretations of requirements for] compliance with
 [regional] web regulations". 😉

 If you don't use cookies, it's a reasonable expectation that the site
 won't remember who you are, so can't show you your "in moderation"
 comments.

 The easiest fix seems to be to default `show_comments_cookies_opt_in` to
 being turned on, which we can do in #44736.
