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.

Ash to ash

Dust to dust

The Fediverse is becoming a beautiful example of why the best theories aren’t necessarily working out in practice, when human ego gets involved.

Let’s hope the devs and admins become more mature as their Fediverse grows

    This seems a flawed understanding of the theory though, if the thinking is that in the entirety of the whole world, no instance will ever defederate with any other instance.

    On the contrary, this is normal, expected, and healthy behavior. When one instance refuses to consider the needs of the wider community, then those offended by such have the right to cut it off - e.g. hexbear users troll everyone, their admins protect them, so the instance as a whole gets defederated as a result.

    💯%

    Unfortunately, no matters of how great any idea is, as long as any living creature (particularly humanity) is involved, things will go to shit.
