I noticed today an occurence of a user complaining about Lemmy being worse then Reddit. The modlogs shows how toxic they are. When this was pointed out, the user deletes their account

This seems to address the question that comes up once in a while "a public modlog is only useful for mods" (https://feddit.org/post/4920887/3235141), while we can see from this example that it can also be useful for toxic users.

As you may know, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a community dedicated to calling out power tripping mods.

Should we consider having a similar community for toxic users?

There is already !fediverselore@lemmy.ca, but I feel like the "lore" is more about large-scale events (like the cats wave recently) than specific users events.

Edit: Updated the title, and put the emphasis on creating a community to call out toxic users rather than "dunking" on the users that was banned.

This idea sounds conceptually similar to something like kiwifarms, which seems like a red flag imo

I've already got one mega-fan following my posts around this site. An entire community where they can network with others to promote my activities would be awesome!

I'm kind of upset that this 'toxic' person came from the same instance as I'm using. Most people I encounter on the local pages aren't bad folks.

Usually kbin.melroy.org users are nice indeed

This gives me a fun idea, scrape the modlog for ridiculous moderation and post the results.

Unfortunately only certain people would find it funny, most of them outside of Lemmy.. :)

Calling out mods for what? Not allowing your brand of freeze peach? Personally I think Lemmy needs more strong moderators because right now most instance's "all" feeds are just another stale parade of "memes". There is a lot of junk filler, and very few unique communities that make the Lemmyverse something that stands apart from Reddit.

I would also encourage instance admins to de-federate instances that host your idea of a "community" purpose built to publicly "call out" users. It's toxic.

How is your instance doing ?

Why I left Startrek.website, created TenForward, and the admin abuse I've suffered from ST.W since then

Also, about the mods, that community already exists, it's !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
