Over the past few days, @MrKaplan@lemmy.world/@MrKaplan@piefed.world has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin’ bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world’s history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

    It will be such a waste to defederate one of the biggest instances because of this idiot…

    Edited: clarification.

      Have you been paying attention to Jordanlund? This isn’t a one off thing.

      the 1 idiot is the head admin that can just unilaterally decide what to do. Meanwhile hexbear has huge threads voting on who to defederate, but guess who is known as “aUtHoRiTaRiAn”

        Doesn’t matter whom hexbears vote to defederate - a lot of other instances defederate them firstly, usually. Secondly, problematic admins can be in any instances, but still people do use that instances because of all the other content placed there.

              how is it problematic when a community member consistently causes problems in your community to disengage from them? i must be missing something

                The problem is that it is not just a comunity member or a guest, but an admin, who runs all the instance. For example, you have a big old community on that instance and you cannot easily just migrate to another instance just because of you do not like the admin. You either coop and remain there or is forced to make a bold move. You sure can ban a random guy from your comunity without a problem, but not if this guy is an admin of your instance and is a jerk, that can avenge you by messing with the whole community.

                P. S. Sure, I could have missed something.

                  absolutely. this is a community member weaponizing their power over others to make everything worse for everyone. i think our best maneuver is to remove their power by just… not letting them be powerful

                    Okay, from this point of view you’re right. I am just not sure how to do it, except for mass boycotting this member in each and every community until he complies.

          No they don’t? Afaik hexbear is the one to defederate? Also anarchist flottilla are the only other ones to hold defederation votes, so my point still stands.

            There are 3 main reasons to defederate instance, that I have encountered: political/social views; incompatible instances policies(like protecting spammers/trolls or just 1 admin hates others); technical issues(like connection lags). Unless instance is politically neutral or matches to the hexbear(like ml), it often defederates hexbear or any other instance(ml is an exception here since it is like the main developer’s instance and so on).

        For me this is the first time here to see an admin of world does this shit. I don’t deny that I could have missed something.
