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.

You're welcome! I can totally understand, that would definitely be frustrating. One other factor you may want to consider is which jurisdiction the instance runs under, since some countries do have laws restricting speech. They will sometimes state the jurisdiction in the terms and conditions of the site. Ignore the information you find on sites like FediDB about where the instance is located since often that is only showing things like that they are going through Cloudflare, etc. Good luck in choosing a new instance!
