Imagine my surprise reading this on the LA Times this morning (emphasis mine):

“I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form of rape,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely...”

Here is an archive of the article.

Here is his account.

It looks like he only stayed on Lemmy for about a month, most likely a temporary Reddit exile with the earliest exodus on June 2023. The article mentions threads on Reddit but doesn't provide any quotes from there. User IndictEvolution on Reddit deleted their account, and the article makes it sound like they are referring to a different username that they don't specify.

In that same period, Bartkus’ rhetoric on alternative social media sites was dark.

I'm just proud they know we exist.

lmao, the only mod action on his account was removing him as the mod of [email protected] three days ago, after he was already dead.

Which was the day after the bombing, FBI must have been up LW’s ass pretty quick.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

LW still not banning that comm is disgusting

That seems very minor. I wonder if it was just a coincidence. Someone pointed out in another comment here that he's still the moderator in a couple of other communities.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That’s the only mod action for the entire community, if it’s a coincidence it’s a wild one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I think the guy was the only mod, and he stopped posting 2 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Ah, interesting. That pushes it more toward probably not a coincidence.

Of course it's fash nonsense, too.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Of course he was a .worlder lmao. That instance is really never beating the allegations.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Truly the /pol/ of the fediverse

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (16 children)

Holy shit the jokes just write themselves. It'll be amazing if .world doesn't try to censor this.

Man I am just glad I never made an account there.

I signed up for it when leaving reddit just because it was the biggest, what’s wrong with .world?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Not much, its just has most lemmy users/communities so its a big point of failure.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

...That it's no better than reddit and doesn't ban right wingers? Like that IndictEvolution account is still up lmfao

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

The implication here is that somehow that's a problem with lemmy and lemmy.world...but I bet he also had an amazon account and no one is blaming them.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

I didn't read it as any particular implication, but that they just found the money quotes they wanted on lemmy.world.
