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.

A Nazi in a bar makes it a Nazi bar. A Nazi bar in a town makes it a Nazi town. A Nazi town in a state makes it a Nazi state. A Nazi state in a country makes it a Nazi country. A Nazi country in the world makes it a Nazi world.

You can construct gradients of connection for anything, but that doesn't make them not insane. If .world is a Nazi website, then .ml federates with them, so they're also Nazis. And hexbear federates with .ml, so they're also Nazis. And this all stems not from .world actually tolerating Nazis, but just being kind of center-left normies. When you're eager to make everyone a Nazi, the accusation loses all meaning.
