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.
Viewpoint from the other side of the discussion:

Zoned out here. Sounds like digging for a pretense for a retaliatory ban and that escalated. From the 2 minutes of attention I gave this it sounds like everyone involved needs to touch grass.
yeah but they let their personal drama affect federation which makes it everybodys problem. It’s very hard to not see this as lemmy.flatworld trying to throw their weight around to bully smaller instances.
I get best results smoking it.
That’s giving me a 404 at the moment. You should be able to at least view the thread here.
And your link just requested a piefed.social login for me
Do piefed instances not allow read-only access to non-logged in users?

your link is taking me to anarchist.nexus’s login page
Yea exactly. Pretty annoying.
Seems like it would be pretty simple for the Lemmy or piefed or whatever instance software to just returned the text of the post on that URL
IDK/not qualified to say if there’s a good reason it doesn’t, but I think it would be convenient for a lot of folks if it did.
PieFed.social’s server farm just raised their prices through the roof, so I assume the disabling of ability to access it without a login is related to that. Hopefully a temporary measure.
Most other PieFed instances still allow you to see posts without a login - see e.g. https://piefed.zip/c/yepowertrippinbastards/p/1415029/lw-banned-me-and-defederated-an-over-murder-all-zionists-in-my-display-name.
Funny, I get to see the text, but on piefed.zip, so my instance. The link also points to piefed.zip instead of anarchist.nexus Maybe anarchist.nexus is a piefed instance and it doesn’t play well with lemmy? Might be some kind of bug.
Or it’s simply because of the defederation. Might be the most reasonable explanation.
All PieFed instances automatically translate links to any other instance into one that works on your own instance - where you can vote & respond with your logged-in account. It is a highly requested feature, desired for many many years on Lemmy but so far available exclusively on PieFed (perhaps some future Lemmy software release will catch up).
To get around the automatic translation, instead of just “clicking” the link, copy the link instead and paste that URL into a browser.
For piefed.social login screen, there was a massive scrappers attack, so they had to close 😔
sigh Linking to posts and comments really is a massive weakness on the fediverse.
I suspect you can find the post in
yepowertrippinbastards@anarchist.nexuson any server that remains federated with them.The link is wrong yptb is on dbzer0
