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 messaged Kaplan privately and Kaplan is seeing nothing but red. I updated my original comment to show some context. But Kaplan just went ham and instantly defederated because of a perceived sleight and has been going on a rampage against everyone since. Meanwhile there are serious discussions happening behind the scenes for other major instances to defederate from lemmy.world in response.

    Kaplan is threatening to nuke one instance and, in response, will manage to have lemmy.world effectively embargoed to death.

      Sounds like a win for everyone honestly

        What’s really funny is the realization that I had. I keep forgetting that Kaplan is using the name of a character from a TV show.

        That character, a woman that uses the name Mr Kaplan for backstory reasons, ended up being written out (temporarily) after she went against the lead character (of which it aint me, I’m a random fuckin NPC in Season 1 Episode 2 in the background) and proceeded to not talk to him or anyone else and do what she thought was best. Unilaterally made a decision that managed to functionally destroy everything she was trying to protect, leaving her to desperately try and clean up the mess.

        Makes you think. Just hoping that this time Mr. Kaplan doesn’t fake Liz’s death.
