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 noticed nobody had corrected you on this. It was Deceptichum who placed a Swastika onto an icon of the FHF, not Luminous.

Oh, thank you.

Constant, really?

I would be willing to retract the word choice. Something along the lines of being problematic to the admins of LW to not want to have to deal with them?

Ironically the Swastika coming from a second person besides Luminous helps to illustrate that point, where it was not just a single person, even an admin. Of course, I am not an admin myself, so all I am really saying is that it seems believable to me that the LW is stressed out of their gourd by all the attacks from people saying that they want to kill them. It makes sense to me to want to block them, without having to to through each community one-by-one. Moreover, then subsequently having to constantly maintain that as new ones emerge.

Death threats have that effect upon people. Sometimes the recipients simply... get tired of receiving them?

    Not really, because they were from another instance.

    Okay I need to catch up with this new info, but at worst it seems irrelevant, and at best increases the stress on the admin team to constantly often receive actual irl death threats that people would like to murder them.

    Luminous for instance (a) called MrKaplan a Zionist, and (b) said death to all such, and therefore (c) since by transitivity with A->B and B->C, and given both are true plus A is true, then we can infer that C is true as well, i.e. Luminous wishes death upon MrKaplan (among MANY others). It's fairly clear? Even though buried in the modlog, and regardless of whether MrKaplan actually is what he has been called here or not.

    Mr Kaplan's response after that is on him, but it is worth noting that he received a real actual death threat levied in his direction by an admin of an instance. Instances are not "entitled" to be federated with anyone at all - it happens at the discretion of the recipient.
