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.
Hitler subscribed to vegetarianism.
Not beating the Reddit.world accusations. 😏
But have you considered .ML is evil tankie!?!!?
We need to step up our game. Quickly kill some white rich people, there’s nothing more evil than that!
Wait! Choose which fat old white guys. Don’t leave it to chance!
Nostradamus
you openly supporting killing white rich people?
I’m not native english speaker but I think the joke is pretty clear.
just kidding?
see how that works in court
I know that I gonna say may surprise you but the world is not just EUA and Europe.
I did not commit any crime
there’s people on here pretty far down the radicalization funnel here so there’s a lot of people indicating that that is acceptable behavior
I support treating rich white people the way you advocate for treating Palestinians.
so you want to kill people? how?
Humanely
how many would you like to kill?
“Tankies are a serious threat to domestic and international politics. Please ignore that only 1% of all people know what that is. Also let us actively keep a terrorist and retroactively remove their comments before it became news, because the FBI made us.”
I can bet .ml is considered a bigger threat.
I mean it is but this was about .world
.ml user used whataboutism as taught by putins ministry of copeaganda. It’s not very effective.
It’s very impressive how brainwashed shitlibs are that they think the concept of “pointing out blatant double standards” was invented by a man who is younger than the current and previous US presidents.
I think theyre embracing the comparison
This person was removed as the sole mod for !antinatalism@lemmy.world three days ago.
Edit to add:

He’s still the sole mod for !efilism@lemmy.world and !chemistry@lemmy.world, though those communities never really got off the ground.lmao
Man this will probably hurt the amateur chemistry community due to overreacting crackdowns, even though this is one guy who was part of that community and plenty of other people have done bombings without any interest whatsoever in amateur chem. I do think the community needs more moderation given how frequently I see dumbasses on reddit doing some extremely dangerous shit without realizing it, but this will probably get any discussion of fun chemistry banned everywhere.
Wow. Now there’s a bunch of people who should never have been born. Too bad they’ve gotta make it everyone else’s problem
The next terrorist to come from lemmy better not be another edgy fash loser. Do better.
Eco or better!
I dk what’s better than eco.
Old school like Narodnaya Volya perhaps.
That was quite a read. Going to need to watch some youtube on this but concerned it may lead certain names going up on “The list”
I disagree. terrorism and accelerationism are not needed and do more harm than good. The idea that you can just commit political violence and solve your problems is too tempting to angry people, who then believe that the actually successful tactics like organizing are not necessary. It’s taking the easy way out and usually just turns more people against you.
Of course, violence to protect people from the violence of the fascists is entirely acceptable and to be lauded.
I think they’re joking lol
Well, some adventurism seems to have some positive effect though. Look at how taking down the UHC pig is being received by the public. Could be used to radicalise some people perhaps
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”
You think that quote’s bad, you should see what they’re saying on Xitter
I’m glad I’m not there. I only ever had a Twitter account when I made a bot that fact check replied every post of Trump’s around 2016, then I deleted it.
Soooo… What are they saying? I don’t have xitter…
I mean just the usual, you know, Nazi stuff
Fucking wild that Lemmy made it on mainstream news… of course it had to be some stormfrontian to get it to that stage…
If I had to choose between a bomber and something like r/jailbait (which was the medias first big look at reddit) as the sites big first exposure to the world, I’m going for the bomber every time.
I love how quickly lemmy.world speed ran the aesthetically lib to fash redditor pipeline problem without even a profit motive behind them.
I mean lemmy.world aims to be Reddit 2, and reddit had jailbait, fatpeoplehate, the_donald, keeps Gamergate subreddits open, r/conspiracy, and so many more horrid things kept up because it made more clicks.
So why wouldn’t lemmy.world keep an active terrorist on board? Think of the potential money to be made.
Maximizing the MAU and pLTV of a niche internet forum for the love of the game.
100% guarantee that he also had a Steam account and wore pants at some point in his life.
100% of people who consume water die!
Oh damn, i just hydrated myself
“Looking for a man who recently drank milk?”
here comes the influx of fascists i guess?
when they come looking for the dangerous hacker known as lemmy.world
Lock it down!
deleted by creator
It is not called stormfront.world for nothing
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.
I didn’t read it as any particular implication, but that they just found the money quotes they wanted on lemmy.world.
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
“Active” being a dozen posts from two years ago.
Though right now we’re probably inflating our own importance by thinking anyone at all will associate Lemmy with this guy in any meaningful way. The name was referenced by the reporter because they needed to say where the random posts came from, and talked about like it’s just a general social network rather than an organizing place for a radical ideology.
We’re hittin the big time boys!
In that same period, Bartkus’ rhetoric on alternative social media sites was dark.
I’m just proud they know we exist.
Our very first terrorist. We’re going places boyos. Just hope this doesn’t bring like minded people here, especially since reddit banned that sub, and Lemmy’s is still up.
We’re still so young, we haven’t even killed anyone yet.
quick edit: I do have suggestions tho
