Seems like petty bullshit. An admin has access to the block button. They could have blocked the user, or the instance. I'm okay with an instance ban for the user but defederation without any input from .world users because of personal grievance feels like a major over step.
Ban the user, sure, since calls to violence in a user name is a bit much. That being said, I think Kaplan should be removed from the admin team, and refederation should occur. Defederation like this and for these reasons is well above what's expected.
Threats of defed against db0 are fucking gross. Clearly, someone is upset their bad behavior keeps getting called out in the ye tripping bastard sub. Do better.
Based on the update it sounds more like they're trying to find a better reason to defed from db0, that doesn't somehow involve lw admins putting foot into mouth

Kaplan cannot be removed from the admin team.
Every other major admin has stepped down in the past few months or taken massive steps back. Kaplan is effectively all that there is left. Thats why these actions were taken instantly and without any deliberation. Kaplan has no one to answer to anymore. @Ruud@lemmy.world just handed over total control of the instance. Whether or not Ruud wanted to remake reddit, he certainly has.
I mean, the admin onboarding was so onerous, I'm not surprised they can't find anyone. I remember interviews, like a day-job! I seem to remember multiple rounds of interviews, but I can't be sure anymore
Odd. I was just outright offered adminship on lemmy.world more than once.
Wouldโve be something to see you put Jordanlund in his place.
Oh yeah. I'd have dropkicked his ass out of the door a long time ago.
Probably would have immediately lost your admin and Jordanlund would be reinstated though
