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.

defederation was done while this person was still an admin

Will the two instances work to refederate now that the (former) admin is no longer in power?

No the Lemmy.world admins continue to vigorously project their insecurities.

The current admins continue to vigorously defend the admin who resigned.

No they're not Rimu, you're wildly misrepresenting reality.

They're attacking the defederation and saying that Kaplan overreacted. Some think that Lum went too far, others do not, but it is not the consistent opinion that you make it out to be.

Why not?

Just to be clear, so do the users.

This behavior from .world is why I left it in the first place.

Given your comments on here, I'm also now glad I didn't decide to join piefed.social when I was excited to try out piefed. Its pretty disappointing.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and point out that an admin getting banned for self-proclaimed support of Zionism is completely appropriate. Defederating an instance with an edgy bit in their profile is completely inappropriate.

This behavior was brought by the same people who tried to push "Everyone's opinion is valid, no matter how horrible, you'll just have to talk through it or you'll be banned", which they later backtracked on.

So this is entirely what I would expect of @MrKaplan@lemmy.world. Your behavior is a bit of surprise to me, but now I know, so at least there is that.
