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
Wait, they actually did defederate from anarchist.nexus, temporarily?
I've not been following this very closely.
That tempts me to just block the instance outright, now, personally... I've already blocked most of their mods, and I'm 95% sure jordanlund has either been personally, or assigned a bot to downvote any comment or post I make on .world that he notices, in retaliation for me chewing him out as an objectively racsist shitlib hypocrite like a year ago now.
... if they move another inch, fuck em.
I am beyond sick of these hollier than thou, smarter than you, emotionally unstable neckbeard dorks.
EDIT: Hey look, that one, solitary downvote showed up here too! ... how odd.
Correct. The most you could say, as Tenchiken did in the FAF Matrix, was that Kaplan defederated at the same time as they threatened Db0 (the user).
No attempt at outreach was made in order to rectify the situation prior to a defederation. It was taken as the first resort, not the last. Despite the admin being gone, refederation only occured, as the LWadmin account posted, because "there is no point in keeping anarchist.nexus defederated while [dbzer0] is federated."
This is the same admin team who dragged their feet for weeks on Jordan but instantly defederated from Anarchist.nexus, all users and all other admins be damned, and then threatened dbzer0 as a whole.
Fucking nuts.
Good on you for the writeups you've been doing on this... I don't have the patience or spare sanity meter, so to speak, to deal with and catalogue this absolute horseshit.
It's a nice distraction. My birthday is on Thursday and every year something usually goes catastrophically wrong. Just sort of waiting for it to lol this just gives me something else to focus on.
