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.

I think I am a world user, it was just the top of a drop down menu when I created my lemmy. God damn it.

Not really tho. Some instances talk a big game about their cOnCeRnS when defederating from the explicitly leftist instances but then let fascists of every ilk say the wildest shit as long as it's directed to whomever is the villain of the month for libs.

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.

Where should I go?? I thought .ml was bad

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

If you want my personal opinion, it depends on how you want lemmy.

.ml is held by Marxist-Leninists. Most users there aren't, but if you care about that, its either for you or isn't for you.

.world is held by centrist liberals. Most users don't care about that, but if it matters to you, there ya go.

My instance is for anarchists. There's ones for queer people. Or people who speak German. Or Italian. Or French. Some are made for being NSFW, some are made to shitpost, some are isolated by choice or massively de-federated.

But most instances don't care who you are or why you're on it, just don't break the rules.

So far lemmy.cafe lemmy.zip sopuli.xyz all seem fine, I don't recall a constant issue with the userbase.

Truly the /pol/ of the fediverse

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So what? I don't think we need to worry about his future posts.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

Spouting blatantly ecofascist rhetoric should have had him banned and his comments removed. Instead the community he modded is still up and still posting ecofascist shit with zero pushback from admins.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

So is the [email protected] community he was a mod of

Truly the cesspit of Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago

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

I'm just proud they know we exist.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I bet he was an Arch user!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

Implying any of us go outside

I've finally got my ultra minimalist system set up and I am going to bask in it's soothing glow.

I'm unaware of this stereotype.

These people are like the photo-negitive of Eugenicists.

anti-natalists present with reactionary ideology since they're obsessed with what other people are doing with their bodies. And they advocate for a totalitarian state to regulate that. But then they're also obsessed with environmentalism?

Maybe their lefty misanthropes? I don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you read some of the other comments here, it's more like they're the two sides of the same coin. Eugenicists want to kill poor and other disadvantaged people and antinatalists (at least going by the bomber's comments) want primarily poor people not to have kids, although they seem to try to dress it up as not wanting anyone to have kids. Who knows, this is all pretty fringe stuff.

Who knows, this is all pretty fringe stuff.

He personally was the fringe, but antinatalism is product and offshoot of neomalthusianism and eugenicism which are in the core of imperialism. Just the big scale ones do not bomb a clinic, they bomb and starve entire nonwhite countries.
