🏴☠️ 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!
Uh oh!
good luck!
Both. Although there's only one feddit.uk vote and one feddit.uk comment (besides yours).
Is there a meta community at all that is only visible to local accounts? I had a search last night but this seemed the most appropriate community.
I think your understanding of the situation seems to be about right, stitching together everyone's "he said, she said, they said" together. My concern is that Lemmy.World don't seem to have put the situation to bed yet, with their latest update saying they're still in discussions despite the anarchist.nexus admin stepping down and lemmy.world not following their own rules (according to this comment).
The crossposted thread isn't a call to defederate. But a question of future solidarity, that if Lemmy.world defederates from anarchist.nexus/dbzer0 over a single user would other communities defederate from Lemmy.world in response? To try and prevent the largest instance from bullying smaller ones.
I wanted to know the feddit.UK stance on such a question but you're the only f.uker to respond! (Although granted the most important one to respond, thank you!)
There's !local_shop@feddit.uk which is only visible to logged in users and doesn't federate. A meta community only visible to f.ukers hasn't been something we've needed, but I suppose one would be good for inter-instance politics to avoid brigading.
