I think its a wonderful idea. I would love to see a community for this, but I don’t belive Lemmy has the tools to ensure it’s a safe space.
You would need a 24/7 mod team to read through everything and keep bad actors out (not to mention utilizing DMs can make moderating pointless).
Even if you ban them, its too easy to make throw away accounts to bring negativity to the community, consequence free.
You could try IP blocking, but with vpns thats easily cicumvented. Wholesale blocking vpns would go against what Lemmy is trying to accomplish.
Fundamentally, unless you can identify someone on Lemmy, they are free to do all the bad they want consequence free.
