Note: Judging by the comments, a lot of people are obviously not reading the post and are instead assuming we are calling for defederation of lemmy.world. That is not the case, and in fact the opposite is true. LW already temporarily defederated anarchist.nexus once, and the evidence suggests Mr Kaplan is now pushing for full defederation of all the FAF instances. We are trying to build a coalition of instances that will agree to defederate from lemmy.world IF Kaplan goes ahead with the defederation. Apologies if you weren’t aware of the context.

🏴‍☠️ Hoist the Black Flag: Pledge to Boycott Lemmy World!

… if Lemmy World dares to defederate from any ship in the Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla - https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/, https://anarchist.nexus/, and https://quokk.au/.

Mateys, we can’t let a mega‑instance captain bully the rest of the fleet just because their ship’s bigger. If Lemmy World tries to throw the FAF overboard, we’re calling for a show of solidarity: a fediverse blockade of Lemmy World in response, until the landlubbers see reason (i.e., there is an acceptable change in their leadership and/or this policy).

This is about mutual aid, not mutiny - standing together so no single admin gets to rule the seas unchallenged. A united armada of smaller instances can absolutely blunt Lemmy World’s outsized influence (and, let’s be honest, their ego).

☠️ A word to the captains: before hoisting colours or locking in a course, we ask ye to let your crew have their say. Run a poll, open the deck for discussion, and listen to the voices aboard your vessel. These seas belong to all of us, and decisions that shape our fediverse should be made together, not from the captain’s quarters alone.

If other captains be keen to chart this course with us, drop anchor and make the pledge public in the comments. The more hands on deck, the harder it is to sink any one of us. Let us know if you are holding a vote!

dbzer0 and AN members can vote on this pledge in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and quokk.au will be holding their own vote.

🏴‍☠️ Solidarity forever, and fair winds to the Flotilla!

governance type: sense check

    You can read all about it here!

    TL;DR: lemmy.world zionist admin got banned from anarchist.nexus for pro-Zionist stance, took someone’s display name as a personal death threat, and single-handedly defederated LW from AN without conferring with the rest of the LW team or announcing it properly

      What was the Zionist apologia they posted? I can’t find it on the explanation.

      Okay, as someone slowly starting to lean into anti-samitism with each new article on Israel I think I will hide myself in lemmy.europe for now then.

        Yeah, no that’s not what this is… You can be against Zionism and be Jewish. Zionism and the Israeli government are the problem. Not all Jewish people. Don’t be antisemitic.

          If every Israeli government is the same in oppressing Palestinians, then the issue is the state itself, not just the government. I agree with the rest.

              A new government is elected each 4 years . State policies can stay forever , the policies of colonialism never changed

                Still important to point out that the state, even if re-affirmed every 4 years, is not representative of Judaism or Jews generally.

                Ah, you’re referring to who is elected in. I don’t know Israel’s politics as well as the US, but I sure do see the comparison there.

                  The biggest problem with Israel is that they are an apartheid state which condones violence against all Palestinians, even going as far as legalizing execution by hanging of Palestinians only.

                  I believed Israeli propaganda my whole life and have only recently opened my eyes to their crimes against humanity. I feel like such a fool, because I actually paid pretty close attention to politics and news my entire adult life.

        I don’t know how serious you’re being, but please remember that there are plenty of Jewish people who are also anti-Zionist and anti-Israel, don’t let some bad, loud voices persuade you otherwise <3
