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.

And yet the world functions by having groups work together (not with nazis) like every single government on the planet. This person isn’t a nazi. And the bar isn’t a nazi bar. And the about federation is it isn’t like a bar. You can cut them off anytime so you can wait until it becomes (or doesnt) to defederate.

They do support the death penalty, which is gross. I think we should only kill zionist soldiers. Not the civilians. And we should do it in a legitimately conducted war. We should go to war with Israel, blow up their military bases, and force them to make peace with Palestine. None of that requires killing zionist civilians. In fact, killing civilians is often a war crime. So I don't support War Crimes Luminous.

While I agree with you to an extent, I'd like to point out there are many zionist civilians who are active participants in the genocide. How would they be handled? Also I find the idea of a "legitimately conducted war" to be a fools notion. Violence can be a necessary and appropriate response, but it is ultimately corrosive to all involved. War, as they say, is hell. It is devoid of moral righteousness. If you are in a war, fight it, to survive, but know you aren't getting out intact nor clean.

Not attacking you, just my 2 cents.

When I say legitimately conducted, I'm talking about not committing war crimes. No targeting civilians, no poison gases, no atom bombs, no cruel and unusual weaponry, no torture of POWs. You know, the bare basics. War is hell, but we don't need to go making super-hell. Regular hell will do.

As for the civilians who are participating in genocide, I say put them on trial. Send them to prison. Civilians are defined by their not posing an active combat risk. If we defeat the IDF and then Bibi picks up a gun, then he's become a soldier. But if he surrenders, then we don't execute him, we put him on trial and send him to prison for life. And it should be a decent prison with a nice quality of life, because there's no need to punish people when they've already been removed from society and can't do anything to hurt people anymore. I'm a supporter of luxury prisons, they have a better rehabilitation rate and I don't believe in punishment,

But those “civilians” are actively killing Palestinians as well. There isn’t really a delineating line here when the politics are aligned across the entire country civilians and soldiers, and the country is utilizing civilians as a mechanism to continue the genocide, through settlers who are committing crimes just as bad as the soldiers are. Why do the soldiers not get a trial but the “civilians” do?

To be abundantly clear, I do not agree with “kill all Zionists” in any way shape or form. But I am disagreeing with the entire premise of this conversation. LW is banning someone based not on what they do or have done, but based on a political call that was in their username. You said it yourself, we should kill Zionists soldiers (not saying I agree with this but it is in the conversation). So what makes your point of view so legitimate but their point of view a reason for complete defederation? Imagine the UN even existing if something like this got you kicked out of the conversation.

My grandma's a zionist. She's a little old lady who lives in Australia. She's not Jewish, she's a Christian. But she's fallen for the propaganda that says the holy land is owed to Jewish people. She's gone for a holiday in Israel a few times because the place is important to her faith. But she's disappointed in Israel for its war crimes in recent years, the same as most people. She wants peace, she just hasn't realised that Israel is fundamentally anti-peace. She might get there one day.

I don't think grandma deserves to die. The only thing she's done wrong is give Israel's economy a few thousand tourism dollars. That's bad, but it's not death penalty bad. I want grandma to live.

I don't know if defederation is an appropriate response, I haven't made up My mind. But I do know that Luminous is harming the Palestinian cause by giving Netanyahu the violent rhetoric he wants people to hear from his enemies. Netanyahu wants his enemies to look like terrorists. Luminous looks like a terrorist. I want us to look like we're interested in stopping the killing.
