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.
Well, in this case it seems really out of place to defederate. But otherwise i like to think that defederation is something that you could use more than in last resort : yes it breaks the network, but the network should also work as broken, that’s one of the strenght of federation to me. I’m not a technical person and still a newbie, so i might be missing important bits, don’t hesitate to correct me if this is the case, but i felt like sharing another point of view.
