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.

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

That user was literally banned from StarTrek.website instance for harassment of it’s users, this is a textbook example of the problem with “call out” communities you are advocating for. They are more about creating drama than any kind of fact finding, let alone justice.
