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.

From what I saw, the 'call to murder' was someone having kill all zionists in their username, and that only makes sense as a real call to violence if we're supposed to take everyone's username seriously and literally. That would be a very weird world to be in, as then we'd have to accept that we're reading posts written by Star Trek characters come to life, inanimate objects, and various bodily fluids. Without evidence of something worth taking more seriously, at best this looks like the admin team doing something silly, and obviously certain groups of Lemmy users will interpret it less charitably and as the LW admin team being pro-genocide. Neither is a good look.

My handle is serious. Deadly serious.

I'm sure you'll have someone to satisfy your request someday.

Surprise surprise Lemmy isn't entirely different from Reddit in that:

  • It kills a community over the name of one user (yes I'm aware it was an admin)
  • Said admin had beef with this user, which they conveniently left out in their post description
  • It's got shameless hypocrisy too where calls to death from zionism is acceptable but not the other way around

For the record, I am not for calling anyone's death as that's not my thing, but have some consistency hypocrites. Smh.

I think speech on the issue of killing zionists is more serious than Star Trek and cum farts, because there's a war actively going on. And killing Zionist civilians during a war is starting to sound pretty war-crimey. We should only be killing Zionist soldiers.

If someone, in the course of WWII, said "kill all Nazis", would you feel the same?

Keeping in mind Nazism, like Zionism, is a political identity one chooses...

I don't mind either statement on it's own. But it does become problematic once people go around baselessly accusing others of being Nazis/Zionists, which is something that is rampant on lemmy, especially dbzer0 and its offshoots.

If someone said "Murder all Martians. Rimu is a martian." and then we spend hours debating whether it's ok to kill martians or not then that would be a waste of time. Because I am not a martian. Obviously there are situations where murdering Martians can be justified - the problem is someone calling for me to be killed based on made-up bullshit. Let's talk about that.
