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.

Oh fuck they’re going to call us all extremists

We'll have to push back with pointing to the decentralized nature of the fediverse, and that there's gonna be crazies on some instances. I always use email as an analogy when explaining Lemmy, maybe we could continue that and argue you wouldn't blame all of email infrastructure if an extremist had a gmail or Hotmail or whatever.

Actually now that I read that, it just might be more confusing. But there's gotta be a counter angle to argue to get ahead of people thinking "Lemmy=bad"

Also even if the cops shut down world, people will just … move. Like yours and my instances don't even have the word "lemmy" in the domain. I don't think anyone would care beyond "we shut down that radical forum."

Though most likely is it goes completely unnoticed and some bombing or shooting or human rights abuse next week will shoves it down the memory hole for good.

lmao, the only mod action on his account was removing him as the mod of !antinatalism@lemmy.world 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.

“I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely...”

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

I'm just proud they know we exist.

Malthusians, you want to stop new births and yet you don't target Elon Musk, who coincidentally is also a billionaire? Smh.
