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.

Wonder if the wayback machine can find anything from reddit or if we can find their account on lemmy.

Fuckin wild and 100% un-surprised it was .world lol

I linked his account on Lemmy.world in the original post. I couldn't find an active account on Reddit though, unless the LA Times reporters used the wayback machine themselves to see his old posts. I'm sure that they would be on wayback machine, but the article mentions a different web handle associated with him.

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

I'm unaware of this stereotype.

CIA plot confirmed

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.

Small niche where the user is active, big international service that everyone uses that has zero connections to them.

Gee I wonder why people are talking about lemmy.world

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