These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

Lemmy really needs an app with a de-moderation feature, like Uneddit did for Reddit.

The modlog is great, but it relies on the user going out and looking for power-tripping mods. A better option would be a client app that parses an instance's mod log and restores and highlights moderated comments.

Censorship might be necessary on today's platforms, but it is still an evil. Censors need to be closely monitored by the community.
