Okay I need to catch up with this new info, but at worst it seems irrelevant, and at best increases the stress on the admin team to ~~constantly~~ often receive actual irl death threats that people would like to murder them.

Luminous for instance (a) called MrKaplan a Zionist, and (b) said death to all such, and therefore (c) since by transitivity with A->B and B->C, and given both are true plus A is true, then we can infer that C is true as well, i.e. Luminous wishes death upon MrKaplan (among MANY others). It's fairly clear? Even though buried in the modlog, and regardless of whether MrKaplan actually is what he has been called here or not.

Mr Kaplan's response after that is on him, but it is worth noting that he received a real actual death threat levied in his direction by an admin of an instance. Instances are not "entitled" to be federated with anyone at all - it happens at the discretion of the recipient.
