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.
Just so I get this right, you defederated an entire instance because a singular user has lost it and called for violence?
it wasn’t a regular user. it was a member of their admin team.
Which is still just a single person.
Who’s in charge of that instance. Are you suggesting that admins are never responsible for what they say because every admin is a single individual? The admins of this instance have complete discretion over who they want to federate with.
If the instance in question fails to remove the admin, then the only valid conclusion is that the admin team of that instance supports that type of behavior.
The only possible way to proceed is to defederate from the instance, at least until there are significant changes in the administration, starting with an admission of wrongdoing and an apology. Until that happens, the entire community should treat that instance as malicious.
The post itself admits that the admin in question is no longer in their admin group. I don’t know more beyond that, but it sounds like the instance may already be working towards making things right
If they are, then they can look forward to re-federating in the future.
But, as I said above, removing the problem person is only part of what the community should require.
And based on what @Grail@multiverse.soulism.net said, that may not be forthcoming.
No they cannot, because Kaplan is on an agenda here. It has nothing to do with the user.
You let one Nazi drink at your bar and you’re a Nazi bar.
You only gotta fuck one goat.
The irony of posting this while defending a literal fascist.
