Yet another example of why the abstrct concept of “authoritarianism” is useless. In this case, the people of dbzer0 decided democratically to wield their authority to defederate from an instance with an explicit Zionist problem. It isn’t the defederation that’s the problem in the abstract, or the authority, it’s the fact that this authority was used against Zionists.

Authority is exactly the problem. Who would’ve thought that somebody with an account on an anarchist instance has problems with other people telling them what they can and can’t do?
Shocking, I know.

You’re arguing against the people wielding their power againdt Zionists and in favor of Zionists being able to speak freely.

Wow, is it really so hard to believe that I’m, you know, saying what I think?
.world happened to be my first fediverse account, dbzer0 came later. I’ve lots at this point, exactly because of instance defederation, but the idea of what db0 was doing seemed particularly interesting, hence my disappointment.
In any case I’ve nothing more to add here.
Hope you get a nice weekend, ciao.

I don’t think it’s particularly interesting that anarchists defederated from Zionists.

Yes, because it openly contradicts your actions

So all moderation is wrong? Also you seem to very clearly not understand what anarchism is beyond the infantile “tyranny of bedtime” surface.
Iceblade02@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No.
QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Sure sounds like you’re against moderation. Or are you just a liar who only cares because it’s about shunning Zionism.
BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
You mean like you telling every other user on db0 that they can’t defed?
Iceblade02@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You can achieve essentially the same effect via blocking. Bypassing defederation instead requires using a different instance.
