Have you considered not being Zionists

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.

Huh. They're a login-only instance, so I can't even go see what their ongoing discussions are.

Just so we're all clear - the definition of zionism being used in this context is "someone who supports the existence of Israel as a Jewish state"

I'm thinking that it's quite likely that the .world admin in question would agree with the above sentiment, but would rather not inherit the downstream implications of what it means to define a colonial state by an ethno-religious identity.

Zionists aren't fit to be the local ~~dogcatcher~~ instance admin.

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

You're the ones having a meltdown 😄

Lmao glad people moved here to a avoid petty reddit drama

Have you considered raising this with the admin team before defederating?? Or with your userbase?? I don't wanna hear shit about hexbear is aUtHoRiTaRiAaAaAn when they have a vote before defederation instead of just throwing a tantrum and reflexively defederating a whole-ass instance because of personal drama between two admins.

We're currently discussing how we will proceed with this situation

Block the mod on your personal list, don't defederate?

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

After getting a better look at the background, this seems like a misstep.

Agreed that Luminous was not exhibiting behavior that seemed becoming of an admin (borrowing the terms of the db0 folks, they appear to be a bit of a "shit stirrer") but it doesn't look like there was any direct call to violence towards Kaplan, as this whole debacle seems to imply.

Luminous is no longer an admin, so I don't see why the defederation of anarchist.nexus needs to continue (given that its initial justification is already questionable). The main takeaway is that the admin team of Lemmy.world (or maybe just Kaplan, I don't know who all the admins are) seem to be taking criticism of Zionism personally...which to me sounds easily solved by simply not being Zionists.

So, if the LW team are not Zionists, I don't see why they shouldn't just come out and say so, but then I guess I don't see any other reason why someone would take a "death to Zionists" tagline personally.
