It's generally been my experience that online communities of cyclists tend to have fairly high moral standards (for example, every single one I'm in has very strict and explicit rules against sexism, racism, homophobia, etc) and vigilantism isn't really even joked about. People will get plenty upset and outraged, but I've never seen people even joke about harming a driver in an incident, even when they caused substantial injury or even death.
Literally all we want is for people to be held legally accountable - in both the criminal and civil sense.
That aside, vigilantism is by and large something that only ingroups can "get away" with. When outgroups do them, things generally end very poorly for them. Politicians, press, police, courts, etc would never abide violence by cyclists. I mean, for chrissakes, cyclists are subject to incessant violence by motorists and nobody bats an eye.
