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?

My initial response was: that sounds a bit like a 'fake community', something for which I thought the consensus was 'bad idea'. Moreover, it'd arguably be a fake community full of fake posts.

Lemmy has 2 types of modlog - one for each community and one that's instance wide. Would the plan be a community just for the instance, or something that merged actions from both?

Probably merged from both?

I've just realised that having it as a community would mean there'd be no special filtering options e.g. by account or community. Not ideal.

Post search can be used for filtering by user or community. And if you want the users to be able to not see a specific types of posts in the community then run a separate bots for different posts so users can block them specifically and still see the rest of stuff.
