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.
I’m sorry Kap, but you are 100% a zionist and you don’t get to argue that. You simply don’t get to claim you aren’t one when your actions speak otherwise.
When it comes to the whole ‘murder all zionists thing’, this just kind of proves the point that you are a zionist in the first place. No one who isn’t a zionist would fly off the handle into such a petty rage like you have. There’s also the fact that you’re silencing voices, refusing to allow people to speak, and using collective punishment on the entirety of dbzero and anarchist nexus due to the actions of a single fucking individual.
Yeah. You’re a zionist Kap.
No it doesn’t. Luminous outright called Mr. Kaplan a Zionist, and drew a Swastika onto the logo of the FHF. I responded elsewhere in more detail but wanted to isolate this point here: you seem to assume that Mr Kaplan felt called out due to a guilty conscience or whatever, but that is not what the facts of the matter show in this situation. Luminous very clearly called for the actual irl murder of everyone in the FHF.
And then, in their own words, preemptively banned MrKaplan.
Setting aside for the moment how Luminous abused their admin powers to do precisely that, and also btw did it first (Mr Kaplan’s actions were taken in response to those of Luminous), yes that is exactly correct: the very many many many calls for outright, actual, irl murder coming from AN are now silenced, not visible to the users of LW.
Anyone who wants to can still read them ofc, but LW provides that moderation service to anyone who would like to remain on LW and receive it.
Not all of us are spoiling for a fight 100% of the time, and sometimes people just want to browse some memes once in awhile, ya’know? Without having to wade through calls for murder I mean. The rights of everyone on AN are nowhere being curtailed, i.e. they still retain full rights to speak as freely as they wish, but LW is done platforming such from them, echoing and amplifying and storing those messages on their machines the same as all of the other content on the Threadiverse. Like hexbear, AN got too problematic to have to try to figure out which communities were safer for consumption vs. which were too problematic, so since the numerous calls for violence were not being toned down and even being led by their admin team, the entire instance was defederated from. That’s not a witch hunt, that’s a response to very clear extremist rhetoric. LW users should not be forced into having to read MAGA-like language, even the leftist version that is supposedly on the “other side” (yet seems to behave so identically to it that I can barely tell a difference anymore).
Luminous acted as a user/moderator. Kaplan acted as an admin.
You are not taking any of this into account. I’m not wasting my time with this because, I too, elborated on this elsewhere.
