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.
Lol, The FAF takes weeks of deliberation, and a public vote to defederate feddit.org and we still get shit about being “authoritarians” or “manipulative”. L.W. just YOLO defederated an anarchist instance on the flimsiest excuse and…crickets.
Different presentations, different expectations. Also, you can hardly call the shit show that this comment section was “crickets”.
In any case, L.W never presented itself as being democratic, nor having a “Free as in Freedom” approach to governance.
Dbzer0 does (or at least did) present itself as being against authoritarianism in governance, and being democratic. As the leadership in that governance began pushing for rules that causes users who were there primarily for “free as in freedom” rather than leftism to leave or be excluded, the pool of voters will shrink and become more of an echo-chamber. (Similar to how other leftist movements have slid into authoritarianism)
I ended up finding my home on .zip instead, where I get to pick these sorts of things for myself.
In any case, the actions of an admin have far more significance than those of a regular user. Someone saying “You are X, all X should be killed.” (I.e, you should be killed) is an explicit threat, and if it were me I wouldn’t want to be in touch with that person either.
Hi👋 Happy I switched to dbzer0 the last time LW defederated your instance. 😁

He’s now arguing nuance and investigation for being shown a mod called for violence by saying kill a criminal but still.
Jfc they are just going off the plot here
I messaged Kaplan privately and Kaplan is seeing nothing but red. I updated my original comment to show some context. But Kaplan just went ham and instantly defederated because of a perceived sleight and has been going on a rampage against everyone since. Meanwhile there are serious discussions happening behind the scenes for other major instances to defederate from lemmy.world in response.
Kaplan is threatening to nuke one instance and, in response, will manage to have lemmy.world effectively embargoed to death.
Sounds like a win for everyone honestly
It’s the natural state of leftists to fight amongst each other and never accomplish anything, together (but apart).
Zionists aren’t on the left.
Idk seems clear cut right (lw admin and mods) vs left with the right being the aggressive ones.
You, Kaplan and lw administration very clear on being the right
Removing comments calling out hypocracy on admin actions is apparently also the natural state here.
But censorship is good when they do it
You can tell by how this comment section is completely whitewashed. Absolutely no controversy here, and nothing at all critical of admins.
Check your modlog removal history, sorry you have memory loss.
You are not on anybody’s left
🍿
What’s really funny is the realization that I had. I keep forgetting that Kaplan is using the name of a character from a TV show.
That character, a woman that uses the name Mr Kaplan for backstory reasons, ended up being written out (temporarily) after she went against the lead character (of which it aint me, I’m a random fuckin NPC in Season 1 Episode 2 in the background) and proceeded to not talk to him or anyone else and do what she thought was best. Unilaterally made a decision that managed to functionally destroy everything she was trying to protect, leaving her to desperately try and clean up the mess.
Makes you think. Just hoping that this time Mr. Kaplan doesn’t fake Liz’s death.
Pass it over!
