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.

    Fedigrow:

    To discuss how to grow and manage communities / magazines on Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Sublinks

    How is this post relevant to this community? You posted it here because you’re a moderator so you know it won’t be removed?

    Dunking on someone who was (rightfully) banned isn’t the kind of post that fosters good community interactions. The moderation system works, that’s great. Can we not give more oxygen to the troll’s commentary?

      As I stated on the OP

      Not sure where to post this, but I guess this can be seen as “growing the nice atmosphere of Lemmy”

      I was also suggesting to maybe open another community for this kind of reports, so that fit indeed the purpose of Fedigrow.

      In this case, it doesn’t seem like they were banned, just that they deleted their account. Not 100% sure as Mbin interface might look different from Lemmy (where “banned” is visible when someone is banned).

      So it’s not sure that it was the moderation system that worked in this case, more the modlog.

      In any case, this post can be used as an evidence when people as “how does a public modlog make Lemmy better than Reddit”, which is a question that comes up quite once in a while: https://feddit.org/post/4920887/3235141
