To clarify, this is not a vote to defederate. This a call to instance admins to pledge for a mutual protection pact.

🏴☠️ 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 came to say "every Lemmy drama day"
Reading this on lemmy.world and wondering what new online drama am I missing.
You can read all about it here!
TL;DR: lemmy.world zionist admin got banned from anarchist.nexus for pro-Zionist stance, took someone's display name as a personal death threat, and single-handedly defederated LW from AN without conferring with the rest of the LW team or announcing it properly

The Lemmy experiment is over. was fun while it lasted
Keep the mods on tight leash please, otherwise the fuckers get powertripped too easily.
Looks like I'll have to start a petition to my admins to defederate from themselves.
I'm on your side.
Make an account elsewhere
I have no nuanced take but you have my Aye.
Did unjust defederation actually happen?
Yes. You can check the LW Announcement post here. They then refederated. No attempt at contacting the admins of AN about problematic display names were made prior to initial defederation. Even now, they're still threatening to defederate.
