Due to a (now former) admin of the instance anarchist.nexus calling for a member of our team, as well as anyone else they call a zionist, to be murdered, the instance has been defederated.

We're currently discussing how we will proceed with this situation and whether it will affect lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is mostly run by the same admin team, notably excluding the person who used to be on the anarchist.nexus admin team.

We will share further updates once we have them.

Update 2026-04-22 23:25 UTC: anarchist.nexus federation has been reactivated.

We are still discussing this matter, but there is currently no point in keeping anarchist.nexus defederated while lemmy.dbzer0.com is federated.

I mean, the great thing about Lemmy, Piefed, and MBin being federated is there really isn’t a reason not to try different servers and services till you find the one you like best. Not like post history and karma mean anything here. Besides it’s nice having a backup account in case your main instance goes down for maintenance or gets DDOS’d. No reason not to have other accounts. Unless you’re doing it for ban evasion, or harassment, vote manipulation, or similar reasons ofc.

    Except at some point if many instances defederate many other instances you cannot get the whole picture from any of those. Destroying the whole point of federation.

    Federation is a strength if played right. If played wrong, like defederating a whole instance for a personal issue between admins, federation becomes a weakness and a deterrent for people who just want to have some fun to want to join or stay in the fediverse.

    Some instances like https://lemmy.zip/ have a very short defederation list: https://lemmy.zip/instances

    7 instances, including 2 owned by Meta.

    They still suggest some user-level blocking for new joiners, but that way people who want to still see everything can.

    Same logic for https://piefed.zip/

    Ah the irony of not being able to see your lemmy.zip link bc I'm in the UK...

    Access to Lemmy.zip Restricted for UK Users
    Due to the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act, users from the UK can no longer access Lemmy.zip.

    Lemmy.zip is hosted in Finland, and to ensure compliance with international regulations while avoiding any legal risks associated with the Act, we have made the difficult decision to block UK access. As a volunteer-run platform, we cannot guarantee full compliance with the Act’s vague and expansive requirements. Additionally, we are unwilling to implement invasive age verification methods that would compromise user privacy by requiring the collection of personal data.

    If you disagree with these restrictions, we encourage you to contact your Member of Parliament (MP) to express your concerns about government overreach in internet regulation.

    That UK law is really something.

    Do you think there is any chance it will get reviewed at some point?

    Not really.

    At the same time, lemmy.zip is being overcautious because I doubt Ofcom know what lemmy is.

    No idea - it was introduced by the less overtly fascistic of the two parties alternating in government, so... D:

    Though they are both losing ground to upcoming parties which are more radical than the main ones, so in case the Greens (a party in the left-liberal quadrant of the compass) or the Lib Dems (right-liberals) gets to be part of a coalition government in the next elections, they might be able to push through a repeal.

    Labour has always been authoritarian and were cheering along OSA all the way when the Conservatives introduced it - Nadine Dorries heavily involved before her bizarre defection to Reform. Something they don't get called out for enough.
