“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.

They're a huge instance most people joined by default. No one sane thinks a .world account means anything about the person posting under it, except maybe they just went along with the pseudo-default.

You guys think there's a big rivalry and anyone who hasn't rebelled against the unjust persecution of the tankiest instances must have cast their lot in with the enemy, but in reality no one really thinks about it at all.

I don't judge people based on their instance at an individual level, that's not my point. Like you said, most on Lemmy.world picked it because it's the largest instance. However, the moderation and admins do have an ideological bent, and over time this filters out users that don't "fit in" with that, leading to an "average user" with views aligning with the average mods and admins.

I don't really care ahout inter-instance drama, it's not that deep. But I do notice trends and I understand how soft-censorship works and how consent is manufactured. Plus, there are terminally online users on Lemmy.world that do see all Marxists as enemies and wish to take down Lemmy.ml, so that does exist, and is tolerated by Lemmy.world mods and admins.

Then there’s me, who joined .world because it was the largest, is a Marxist, but has no idea how to even switch instances or access .ml where I would like to be 😂

I chose my instance because it wasn't defederated by .world and hadn't defederated from hexbear or .ml https://midwest.social/instances

I like my leftism but I also like my slop.
