Update: anarchist.nexus has been refederated (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

Not at all. But by defederating the instance, you're not just punishing the admin, but every other user on that instance. It's a complete overkill reaction to something that is honestly a harmless threat. If I'd go nuts like that every time someone tells me he wants me to get killed I'd have a very high blood pressure.

Defederation is a last resort reaction if an instance is seriously incompatible with the rest of society, like .ml

I don’t know man, the admins of this instance don’t owe anything to the users over there, and the defederation doesn’t meaningfully impact anyone over there as far as I understand.
If I was regularly chatting with people who call for killing me, I would have a very high blood pressure.

Yes, that's why most sane instances blocked .ml

But we're talking about a single person who lost it, not the entire instance rebelling against lemmy.world or something. You're not just punishing the person who did it, but everyone else on that instance.
