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.

    From what I saw, the ‘call to murder’ was someone having kill all zionists in their username, and that only makes sense as a real call to violence if we’re supposed to take everyone’s username seriously and literally. That would be a very weird world to be in, as then we’d have to accept that we’re reading posts written by Star Trek characters come to life, inanimate objects, and various bodily fluids. Without evidence of something worth taking more seriously, at best this looks like the admin team doing something silly, and obviously certain groups of Lemmy users will interpret it less charitably and as the LW admin team being pro-genocide. Neither is a good look.

      Surprise surprise Lemmy isn’t entirely different from Reddit in that:

      • It kills a community over the name of one user (yes I’m aware it was an admin)
      • Said admin had beef with this user, which they conveniently left out in their post description
      • It’s got shameless hypocrisy too where calls to death from zionism is acceptable but not the other way around

      For the record, I am not for calling anyone’s death as that’s not my thing, but have some consistency hypocrites. Smh.

        The site structure can only do so much when what you hate is certain users. The idea of lemmy is that other instances can be free from the unjust actions of users on one instance such as this one-- which is a success.

      a lot of lemmings like to dog whistle by saying they would not shed a tear if all zionists or anyone not protesting against them were killed

      because they are cowards
