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.

Is yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com really though? My one experience there I left a pretty tame comment against what looked like mod overreach to me and I got ganged up on over it and I think my comment was deleted. I really didn't understand. Felt like the most Reddit moment ever when it happened.

Weird post. Find yourself a padded room.

You were insulting OP and implying they were crazy. What exactly don't you understand about how your comment broke the rules of civility? Also, who ganged up on you? You collected 3 downvotes, and nobody else replied to you except the mod who deleted it.

People who obsess over such things tend to be super cliquish. You probably posted about a mod/community that wasn't one of their normal targets.
