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!

I'm pretty sure that I understand what you're saying, but I don't want to make assumptions.
For context, I'm pretty sure my comment history is relatively littered with comments along the lines of "fuck Israel," or "fuck my Zionist Nazi family," but let's say it weren't. Let's say that I frequently commented, "I'm glad that people are being killed because I value property and politics over human life. Yay genocide." Are you saying that the lemmy.world admin team will somehow prevent me from migrating my account to another instance?
Because that seems like a frightening level of overreach and control that would require infrastructural changes before it kills the entire fediverse.
I'm hoping, though, that you're effectively saying "Zionists need not apply."
No, no, not at all - I'm just saying that if you were pro-Zionist, you don't need to move to begin with, basically
You mean don’t leave /over this fiasco/. Of course, if you support decentralisation then you already avoid both LW and pawb.social, as both are centralised in Cloudflare Inc’s giant privacy-abusing walled-garden.
Got it. Well, just cuz it's the right thing to say: fuck Zionists. I guess I'm not cool enough to stick around.
