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
