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?

Because it's made for the people who don't get banned.

If you get banned, it's usually a pretty big hint that this community isn't for you, and to evade is only wasting your own time in the end.

lemmy.ml openly, explicitly has a political bias. This isn't a free-speech extremist place, and people here enjoy that fact. We don't want to see the same tired derails every day, we would go somewhere else for that.
