What is the point of these forums if you're banned for using it?

From the modlog: admin Banned @Julianus reason: 3 week timeout for more constant bickering expires: in 21d

There are admins with clear political bias and they are using their powers to suppress opinions they don't like. This isn't a ban for violating rules... but simply replying to their posts. What gives?

which community and which instance are you talking about? lemmy.ml has a very clear left-leaning bias that they like to enforce pretty often with instance and user bans, but not post bans as far as i'm aware, so avoid them as your home instance. i see you're on a different instance already, though, so you should specify what you're talking about.

i guess the fact that you have to specify illustrates the beauty of federation!

The modlog doesn't specify who took the action. That seems like something that should be logged...

It was previously shown but is not any longer. The rationale given for the change was along the lines of: "to prevent targeted attacks on mods for mod decisions."

Which is fair because the mod team should be operating as a whole unit in the end anyways.
