> let me moderate it myself
More like "let us moderate it ourselves". Reddit users already do this - there are extensions you can install that allow you to subscribe to another group of user's ban list. So you find a "hivemind" that you mostly agree with, join their collective moderation, and allow that to customize the content you like. The beauty is that you get to pick the group you find most reasonable.
Blocking a comment, or even blocking a user for a comment is useless on platforms that allow free and endless user accounts.
Mail spam/scam folders of everyone's email accounts are proof that "let me moderate it myself" does not work for the majority of people.
And remember "It is harder to police bad behavior than it is to automate it."
