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?

leftist but also extremely eurocentric, so don't threaten that aspect of their identity

Are you saying Lemmy.ml is Eurocentric?

[–] j_ming@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

all activitypub networks sadly, but yes lemmy very much so

In what way is lemmy.ml specifically, eurocentrist? Many users here are very critical of Europe, while not buying into the propaganda about places like China, Cuba, etc.

hundreds of links of Ukraine & Russia, brief mentions for other conflicts outside of europe. E.g. nothing about the recent Sri Lanka state of emergency. It's not about the sides being taken, it's about the stories being told.

That I agree with, and it is something that the community here should do better, me included.
