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.

Collective punishment is Zionist shit

Do you think they'd be calling for that if so many moderators of .world didn't seem to defend and support fascism? What do you think the rest of us think? Cuz I'll give you a hint, being an anti-fascist doesn't mean I think we should have tea with them.

What incentive do I have to remain here if I can't see stuff from other instances?

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago

Quite literally? None. MrKaplan and the lemmy.world team have made, abundantly clear, that they do not care what their users think and are doing what they want first and foremost. Thus why this was not asked of the community and was done as a kneejerk response days ago and only notifying the community now.

Seems like petty bullshit. An admin has access to the block button. They could have blocked the user, or the instance. I'm okay with an instance ban for the user but defederation without any input from .world users because of personal grievance feels like a major over step.

Ban the user, sure, since calls to violence in a user name is a bit much. That being said, I think Kaplan should be removed from the admin team, and refederation should occur. Defederation like this and for these reasons is well above what's expected.

Threats of defed against db0 are fucking gross. Clearly, someone is upset their bad behavior keeps getting called out in the ye tripping bastard sub. Do better.

Kaplan cannot be removed from the admin team.

Every other major admin has stepped down in the past few months or taken massive steps back. Kaplan is effectively all that there is left. Thats why these actions were taken instantly and without any deliberation. Kaplan has no one to answer to anymore. @Ruud@lemmy.world just handed over total control of the instance. Whether or not Ruud wanted to remake reddit, he certainly has.

The zionist tactic of censorship in action.

And this is the kind lf people who call others snowflakes when they get upset 🤭

You're the ones having a meltdown 😄

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I don't think defederation is ever justified outside of technical reasons, like spam or other disruptive activities.

I don't think killing civilians is cool. (Each side feel free to project your biases onto that comment)

I think that there is a large population of people who share the toxic view that social media is a battleground and views people who disagree as enemies to be attacked. These people are often disruptive, toxic assholes. The way to deal with them is to ban them when they pop up.

I think it is extra stupid to stereotype people based on the instance that they signed up for instead of their stated opinions.

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
