I am trying to make a json db (I know it's not recommended but I am just using this for time being) and when a user makes a report or suggestion, it stores their username, whether it's a suggestion or report, and their actual suggestion/report but I am getting this error

You're not storing their username, you're trying to store the entire discord.Member instance:

data["name"] = interaction.user

Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=interaction%20user#discord.Interaction.user

Python has no idea how to turn that into something and store it in a JSON file.

If you want a user's name, use User.display_name: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.User.display_name

Also, consider storing id's instead of names. Multiple users can have the same name, and users can change their name. This would break your whole application unnecessarily.
