I never participated in callout communities myself, so I'm not sure how effective they are. As an outsider looking in, who has never personally dealt with a toxic user or mod before, it seems like a drama farm. If callout communities actually work as intended, though, or at least successfully warn people about genuinely problematic users/mods (instead of just being a tool to gain public support against civil, behaving users you do not like/a mod who justifiably banned you), then I suppose it's worth creating.
It also allows to suggest alternatives. !world@quokk.au definitely took off after a few reports about !world@lemmy.world
Similarly, the .ml communities being less active thn the other instances version nowadays probably comes from post like https://feddit.nl/post/16246531
