dbzer0 defederated feddit.org after a vote which wasn't about defederating
Since this developement is just the most recent in a long conflict, we have to zoom out a bit.
The first event in this conflict I can remember was nearly a year ago when a user [accused](https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/25838991) [[email protected]](https://feddit.org/c/europe) of supporting "zionism" (meaning supporting the genocide in Gaza), which lead to feddit-org's mods [defending](https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/26038414) their mods and instance. Some minor instances defeterated feddit-org which in return lead to feddit-org [defederating](https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/26318478) them.
The db0-admins [proposed](https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/36339404) an instance policy update on Zionist accounts.
Following this, the second major event in this conflict was the admin of dbzer0 [accusing](https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/38419311) feddit-org of being zionist (pro-genocide) 2 months ago. The post contained a vote about banning 7 feddit-org-communities. The majority of db0-users agreed to banning those communities, but concern was raised against defederating feddit-org as a whole.
After that vote, feddit-org as a whole [has been defederated by db0](https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/38803322).

tl;dr: Leftists fighting over who is the better leftist.
