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.
Seems like petty bullshit. An admin has access to the block button. They could have blocked the user, or the instance. I’m okay with an instance ban for the user but defederation without any input from .world users because of personal grievance feels like a major over step.
Ban the user, sure, since calls to violence in a user name is a bit much. That being said, I think Kaplan should be removed from the admin team, and refederation should occur. Defederation like this and for these reasons is well above what’s expected.
Threats of defed against db0 are fucking gross. Clearly, someone is upset their bad behavior keeps getting called out in the ye tripping bastard sub. Do better.
Kaplan cannot be removed from the admin team.
Every other major admin has stepped down in the past few months or taken massive steps back. Kaplan is effectively all that there is left. Thats why these actions were taken instantly and without any deliberation. Kaplan has no one to answer to anymore. @Ruud@lemmy.world just handed over total control of the instance. Whether or not Ruud wanted to remake reddit, he certainly has.
Shit, I didn’t know the .world admin situation wad so bleak. Anyone with any sense should leave, because of the Zionism, but because it’s clearly not being well managed, in general.
Tbh, a balkanization of .World would be good for the Fediverse. Everyone jumped on it after the Reddit API exodus, it became too centralized ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And I played a part in that and will, forever, be apologetic for that.
When I left Startrek.website, I chose lemmy.world because I was friends with an admin of the instance at the time but I wasn’t really plugged into all that was going on on the fediverse. I’m also aware of the numbers that I helped drag into lemmy.world with the creation of Tenforward@lemmy.world
It’s also why I created !Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com. To try and undo some of the damage. I asked Picard and co to move over but they were unwilling due to a concern of fragmenting the community. I respect their decision and not giving them flak for it but I really wish that they had joined me over here. Lemmy.world is going far beyond the pale with this petty behavior.
Yep. I’ll soldier on for now but I’ve been considering switching. I’ve had a comment to the tune of “not surprising given your instance” so now I have a lot more context on that.
I mean, the admin onboarding was so onerous, I’m not surprised they can’t find anyone. I remember interviews, like a day-job! I seem to remember multiple rounds of interviews, but I can’t be sure anymore
Odd. I was just outright offered adminship on lemmy.world more than once.
Would’ve be something to see you put Jordanlund in his place.
Oh yeah. I’d have dropkicked his ass out of the door a long time ago.
Probably would have immediately lost your admin and Jordanlund would be reinstated though
Based on the update it sounds more like they’re trying to find a better reason to defed from db0, that doesn’t somehow involve lw admins putting foot into mouth
