Comment class

Represents a comment with support for nested replies.

A comment can be either a root comment (top-level) or a reply to another comment. Root comments have parentId set to null, while replies have it set to the parent's ID.

Example:

final comment = Comment(
  id: 'comment-1',
  date: DateTime.now(),
  content: 'This is a comment',
  entityId: 'post-123',
  userId: 'user-1',
  username: 'John Doe',
  likeCount: 5,
  isLiked: false,
);
