How Lemmy public modlog allows to call out toxic and troll users, and should we have a community about this? (feddit.org)

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.

I don't think we need that kinda community anymore, pretty sure we already have similar community

I agree that some Lemmy users are annoying and as bad as Reddit. But, man, if you behave like that, you're no better lol, in fact worse.

I agree with @OpenStars@piefed.social, I started using recently PieFed and even contributed to the code, and PieFed seems to have a good feature specific to this case, like reputation points (though I have a feeling this could also be abused?)

Which one is it?

[–] hono4kami@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know what, disregard my previous comments and try creating the community. I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt.

What I'm kinda worried is the exact same kind of user mention in the post will post on the community. And I also have visited subreddit that calls out bad users in reddit in the past (like r/redditmoment for example) and I kinda don't like it, because to me it's kind of a waste of time. Probably a personal preference.

But if it calls out/exposes bad users in the community, probably good. Probably

Okay. Let's give this thread a bit more time for other people to tell how they feel about it, and then we'll see.

I don't think people liked the idea lol.
