Over the past few days, @MrKaplan@lemmy.world/@MrKaplan@piefed.world has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin' bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world's history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

the 1 idiot is the head admin that can just unilaterally decide what to do. Meanwhile hexbear has huge threads voting on who to defederate, but guess who is known as "aUtHoRiTaRiAn"

    Doesn't matter whom hexbears vote to defederate - a lot of other instances defederate them firstly, usually. Secondly, problematic admins can be in any instances, but still people do use that instances because of all the other content placed there.

    Sounds reasonable but still problematic to migrate.

    how is it problematic when a community member consistently causes problems in your community to disengage from them? i must be missing something

    The problem is that it is not just a comunity member or a guest, but an admin, who runs all the instance. For example, you have a big old community on that instance and you cannot easily just migrate to another instance just because of you do not like the admin. You either coop and remain there or is forced to make a bold move. You sure can ban a random guy from your comunity without a problem, but not if this guy is an admin of your instance and is a jerk, that can avenge you by messing with the whole community.

    P. S. Sure, I could have missed something.

    absolutely. this is a community member weaponizing their power over others to make everything worse for everyone. i think our best maneuver is to remove their power by just… not letting them be powerful

    No they don't? Afaik hexbear is the one to defederate? Also anarchist flottilla are the only other ones to hold defederation votes, so my point still stands.

    There are 3 main reasons to defederate instance, that I have encountered: political/social views; incompatible instances policies(like protecting spammers/trolls or just 1 admin hates others); technical issues(like connection lags). Unless instance is politically neutral or matches to the hexbear(like ml), it often defederates hexbear or any other instance(ml is an exception here since it is like the main developer's instance and so on).

    Ok you're just making the same claim again but with different words?

    Like you can find the defederation votes with a quick search: https://hexbear.net/search?q=defederat+vote&type=Posts&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=false

    I dont wanna list them all because almost every single one has some internet drama involved that I dont want to resurface, but you'll find most of the big instances were defederate by hexbear first.

    to be clear my point is that hexbear is usually the one to defederate, and as far as I understand you just said that hexbear is the one to be defederated twice.

    Yeah, got distracted and my brain deleted its cache half way through this dialog. So I went to the previous step in dialog automatically. Sorry, thanks for clarification.
