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.
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 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?
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 would never openly support such a thing!
🙂
it’s cool that Mali is one of the Sahel states that’s rejecting imperialism and ML also happens to stand for marxism-leninism
“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
The point is to show that anticommunists complain about Lemmy.ml like McCarthy, but it ended up being a Lemmy.world mod that committed Malthusian terrorism.
The point was that people complain about something going on in .ml but something unrelated happened with .world?
Lemmy.world frequently calls Lemmy.ml evil, yet to our knowledge only a Lemmy.world mod has gone on to become a domestic terrorist, a Malthusian no less. It points to hypocricy.
Many more ways to be evil than just being a terrorist though
Let me guess, you think being a Marxist is evil?
.ml user used whataboutism as taught by putins ministry of copeaganda. It’s not very effective.
Seems to be pretty effective, sitting at 76 upvotes and 9 downvotes as viewed from Lemmy.ml. Seems the random and baseless assertion of Russian propaganda is less effective.
Believe it or not, Lemmy.ml is federated with many instances.
Big if true
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 [email protected] three days ago.
Edit to add:

He’s still the sole mod for [email protected] and [email protected], though those communities never really got off the ground.lmao
wtf? being a domestic terrorist is not against lemmy.world rules as long as you don’t do it on the site…
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.
Mander.xyz is a better instance for science than Lemmy.world anyways.
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.
Some Willem Van Spronsen type stuff maybe?
attempted to ignite a large propane tank and set our ( pro profit detention center) buildings on fire"
Spronsen said that “it’s time to take action against the forces of evil”, citing “highly profitable detention/concentration camps and a battle over the semantics”.
Dude was a carpenter too. Is this what they call based?
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
Must be pretty embarrassing for .ml that shitlib central got a terrorist before they did, ngl.
A fascist on lemmy.world???
Lmao another victory for hexbear.
We lost “First Lemmy Instance to produce a Domestic Terrorist” tho
There’s still “First Lemmy Instance to produce a based domestic terrorist”.

PSL member just killed 2 Israeli embassy staffers in DC… so maybe??
Yeah, but I think I saw some trivia about the attack that made it seem like it was a personal thing due to relationship issues.
This is inaccurate.
I still maintain that UlyssesT killed the UnitedHealth CEO as he, once again, mysteriously disappeared right before the killing and Luigi is a fall guy. He’s also widely attributed to have killed Henry Kissinger. Difference is he got away. Hexbear reigns supreme.
But then we have to argue the semantics if an assasination is a terrorist attack
Good point.
Just look at the results. I’d describe the bourgeois reaction as ‘terrified’.
I mean if we count doing agitprop in foreign countries where it’s illegal to be a Red, we might take first for international t-rist…
Totally not saying any of us did it or not though. That’s illegal
International terror is where it’s at these days
“I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely…”
kills one and injures 4 others
I got a funny feeling this guy doesn’t actually care about consent.
Of course it’s fash nonsense, too.
Seems like nihilistic anti-natalism?
Aka malthusian, which is ecofascism.
Shit like this comment give major ecofash vibes.
Who gets to have kids?
Definitely not poor people.
The surest proof that liberalism inexorably leads to fascism and eugenics is that liberals keep independently recreating them.
It’s like the continuous replication of the crab form, only extremely evil.
“You need serious psychiatric help as soon possible.”
Damn gmtom had this guy’s number
To be fair, you could reply that to any comment and probably be right
Lmao, true though.
The comment they were responding to there was literally calling them on it
Yep, it’s Malthusian nonsense.
it’s only fashion nonsense because the media will only ever cover fashion
when it’s anti-fashion the media never covers it. Remember when FORmica xavier eliminated the [[[[synonym for lint]]]] of the number of appendages on your hand? Media barely even covered it. Nobody remembers the incident even though literally cinco de mayo chicharrones ay ay ay
This reads like genAI gibberish but I fear that I’m just old and not hip with the slang kids are using. I hate the future
Ask your AI to summarize it for you. This is how we live now.
reads like genAI gibberish
it’s not, just think about it
I’m not getting the Cinco de Mayo thing mostly
Edit: also the lint thing, the Formica thing… It’s giving 4chan parentheses but you’re on hexbear talking about anti fash so I know it’s not that.
Cinco de Mayo is probably “5 mayos”.
Synonym for lint is fuzz.
It’s a reference to Micah Xavier Johnson, who killed 5 cops.
Zoomer Riddler over here.
I see, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for deciphering it

Lock it down!

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.
some bombing or shooting or human rights abuse next week will shoves it down the memory hole for good.
Next week? Try last night in DC. I’m doubting this will even register tbh
It’s funny because even of the people I know, it’s actually like “lemmy=what?” Even of the people I’ve talked to about it.
They’re so painfully disinterested, they usually tune out after the first five words of my fediverse elevator pitch.
It would not bode well for the future of discourse if lemmy.world of all places gets shut down for radicalism. Our instance is significantly more radical than lemmy.world. Can you imagine some ecofascist idiot who posted on slrpnk.net a couple times committing a terror attack and getting the instance taken down? I can, which is why this news should be very concerning.
Edit: Just looked through some of the bomber’s comments and their replies and some users even pointed out that his rhetoric was reminiscent of ecofascism. Anti-natalism and ecofascism are ideological siblings. The backlash to this attack is going to catch environmentalist groups in the crossfire, with many environmental activists being accused of having anti-natalist views. Anyone who’s ever advocated for degrowth might get lumped in with them.
I agree, you have very good points. I don’t particularly think that him having posted for about a month two years ago on a particular instance is any particular mark against that instance, as I think that that could have happened to many (but perhaps not all) Lemmy instances. Good point about backlash hitting eco activists too.
You think that quote’s bad, you should see what they’re saying on Xitter
Soooo… What are they saying? I don’t have xitter…
I mean just the usual, you know, Nazi stuff
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.
Damn Axis.world made a domestic terrorist before Us
I guess we cant call ourselfs the most dangerous instance anymore
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.
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.
Yeah but see Hexbear is actually the violent extremist instance not the Rational Centrist instance of lemmy dot world. Or something I dunno I have a brain
It’s the same thing that happened on Reddit when a childfree subscriber killed his kid
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.
LW still not banning that comm is disgusting
Up until now I thought anti-natalism was nonviolent. Now they’ve got their own Unibomber.
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.
That’s the only mod action for the entire community, if it’s a coincidence it’s a wild one.
Ah, interesting. That pushes it more toward probably not a coincidence.
I think the guy was the only mod, and he stopped posting 2 years ago.
Malthusians, you want to stop new births and yet you don’t target Elon Musk, who coincidentally is also a billionaire? Smh.
Yeah what the hell. We know why but the lack of targeting Edgelord Khan is wild. It really says alot lol.
