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.

Correction I was banned for 'homophobia' for complaining about someone using the term "cumrag" on a post title. We have since squashed that beef.

Ah my bad, I read that wrong.

You were just doing the claasic 'homophobia is okay when its a bad person', which is still homophobia

Wait wait, how is me saying that trump likes the taste of putins dick homophobia now? I've literally had gay friends use "they can suck a bag of dicks" as a way to express annoyance at someone.

    for one, using 'sucks dick' as metaphor for submission treats gay sex as inherently degrading. that's what's specifically homophobic.

    'my gay friends say it' is kind of the 'my black friends use the n-word' defense

    there's plenty of things to shit on both trump and putin for, i think the problem is bringing sex into it at all. my sentiments about the two of them would best be expressed by putting me in the same room as them with a loaded gun

    I think there is a point where most insults target some group though. Do we stop saying motherfucker because it's degrading to mothers? Or cunt because it's degrading to women? (Australia is fucked if that's the case). Not suggesting here that I'm defending that 'sucks dick' has the connotation, as I do get your point.

    Totally walked into that one lol that's on me.

    That's fair, I'm sure I could have gone with anything else, but a full ban for saying it was a bit much, considering how often people use well anything derogatory towards those two shit stains.

    Couldn't agree with you more there

    australia is fucked for a wide variety of reasons tbh

    i try to purge insults which target out-groups from my usage as a general practice, i take the point that it does apply to a lot of common insults though. i prefer to paint a vivid picture with my words.

    generally i agree that a perm ban is a bit much, i prefer to keep bans to temporary, unless the person is being particularly abusive to specific users. people don't really have room to learn with perm bans.

    i will say that though .ml has a reputation for banning people a lot, most of the time when i follow up on someone who is complaining about draconian mod censorship it will turn out they caught a temp ban and are just being dramatic
