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!

What a massive waste of energy. The fediverse is small enough, can you guys not try to discuss politely about your differences of opinions without any ego-powered threats and hot-headed reactions?
Unfortunately, Kaplan refused to even attempt to do so and instantly resorted to defederation. No attempt was made at reaching out to the admins of Dbzer0 or Anarchist.nexus before the initial defederation. Now, despite the offending admin being gone, Lemmy.world is still threatening to defederate from Dbzer0 with no fact-based justification.
If you would like to file a complaint about this situation, it will have to be with the admins of Lemmy.world.
We are not escalating, and are only proposing the blockade in the event LW defederates us again based on the whim of one of the admins again. I agree it is a massive waste of energy, but we didn’t pick this fight.
We tried, there is no negotiating with LW until they understand we wont be pushed around. If and when they start respecting us this will end, consider this extended negotiation.
Literally what .world did first. Kaplan got offended at a username of one person, defederated, took days to come up with an excuse, and then the admin team banned anyone calling them out.
They’re the issue, not us.
Being against genocidal supermasist ideologies is not an opinion it is a objective moral stand
