Real Power to the People

I find it somewhat ironic that the announcement for the Minds Jury System is "Power to the People."

Let us give the people (users) of Minds real power.

Minds must step out of the moderation business.

Empower Minds users by providing them the tools to decide for themselves what they read, see, and hear in Minds.

Minds already has these tools: subscription, block channel, hide boost, and NSFW option.

The key and only tool that needs to be modified: block channel. All posts from the blocked channel must be blocked from all the blocker's feeds. Regardless of whether the post is a remind, boosted, or from an "unsubscribed feed." Completely. And no exception.

It's a win-win situation for Minds and Minds users.

It takes Minds out of the moderation business and empowers the user to moderate the content himself/herself.
