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.

Just so we're all clear - the definition of zionism being used in this context is "someone who supports the existence of Israel as a Jewish state"

I'm thinking that it's quite likely that the .world admin in question would agree with the above sentiment, but would rather not inherit the downstream implications of what it means to define a colonial state by an ethno-religious identity.

Zionists aren't fit to be the local ~~dogcatcher~~ instance admin.

Except they apparently don't? https://lemmy.ml/post/46249200/25302334 I find his political stance rather baffling tbh. They agree that Pissrael doesn't have a right to exist, requires mass murder to exist and yet "death to pissrael" is too far?

Yea, I just think theres a segment of liberals who are in denial about what a "Jewish State" actually is.

Either it's defacto segregation (which happens through social or economic means) and only nominally a Jewish state, or it's state-enforced segregation that requires apartheid and violence to maintain.

Either way - zionism is racist in its most fundamental aspects and should be snuffed out like chattel slavery and South African apartheid
