How do we track and expose abuses of power in the fedi?

Does the #fedi have any kind of transparency mechanism to track Reddit-like moderators who make excessive and unreasonable use of their silencing power?

To give an example, someone wrote:

Fun fact, posting a link to this article got me banned from the Germany subreddit:

welcome to lemmy :)

To which I replied with a recent example of the same contempt for expression in the fedi. Then a moderator of ![email protected] silenced the act of censorship itself in an effort to conceal exposure of fedi shenanigans/abuses. There is no higher contempt for transparency and speech than suppressing exposure of speech suppression.

Before subscribing to a fedi forum, a mechanism is needed to reveal power abuses -- something more efficient than picking through a modlog. Like a kind of user log where users call out bad moderators so users can make more informed decisions about where to exchange information.
