LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world (www.latimes.com)

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.

100% guarantee that he also had a Steam account and wore pants at some point in his life.

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.

Fucking wild that Lemmy made it on mainstream news.. of course it had to be some stormfrontian to get it to that stage..

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

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.

Lemmy.world? The instance of misanthropic baby killing terrorists?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 days ago

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

I'm just proud they know we exist.

Preemptively bombing a fertility clinic as a last resort.

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago (3 children)

People fighting over instances is fucking stupid.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

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.
