 * I have checked that you are using the Astra theme. That’s not CSS but add some
   PHP code to change the text strings.
 * Add this code to the child-theme functions.php file to change the text strings.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter('comment_form_defaults', 'wpastra_custom_comment_title', 20);
       function wpastra_custom_comment_title( $defaults ){
         $defaults['title_reply'] = __('Leave Your Thoughts Here...', 'astra');
         return $defaults;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you want to change the title tag, use this.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'leave_a_comment_title_tag' );
       function leave_a_comment_title_tag( $defaults ){
         $defaults['title_reply_before'] = '<p id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">';
         $defaults['title_reply_after'] = '</p>';
         return $defaults;
       }
       ```
   
 * Further any Astra related, support, I would highly suggest post it here [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/.](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/astra/.)

 * For a small text change like this, it may not be worth the hassle of creating
   AND maintaining a child theme.
 * In this case, a quick CSS text replacement hack should be an acceptable solution.
 *     ```
       h3#reply-title {
          visibility: hidden;
       }
       h3#reply-title:before{
           visibility: visible !important;
           content: "Comments";
       }
       ```
