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

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.

Maybe !fediverselore@lemmy.ca is a good place to post this.

Could be, but I also thinking about a specific community to call out bad faith users or trolls. Kind of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com but for users

Who would moderate it without an inherent bias?

Very good question.
