What if the ModLog was a community? (piefed.social)

Every mod action would automatically create a new post. Anyone could see what is going on and express their approval / disapproval with votes. Maybe even comment on the post.

It should probably be a local-only community (no federation) to avoid clogging up other instance's "All" feed with mod actions?

What do you think of this idea?

Yes, that's what I'm considering but only if people think it's a good idea.

In my experience people who have been banned rarely have anything positive or constructive to say about it so most likely each thread would need to be locked upon creation.

Mods can be rash, emotional, or political in their decisions. I have seen people get banned from lemmy instances, even though they didn’t break the rules. Mods also abuse rules or don’t give a valid reason for their actions.

A place to question mod decisions, so they can be asked to explain their actions, could be useful. You can force the mods to answer anyway.

Posting could be restricted to the ones affected by mod action.
