LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world

www.latimes.com

A fire, a fascination with explosives and family discord marked path to clinic bombing

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 ofremoved,” 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.

I love how quickly lemmy.world speed ran the aesthetically lib to fash redditor pipeline problem without even a profit motive behind them.

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

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

It is not called stormfront.world for nothing

Least fascist lemmy.world user 💀

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?
  
  Old school like Narodnaya Volya perhaps.

here comes the influx of fascists i guess?
when they come looking for the dangerous hacker known as lemmy.world

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.
- 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

Lmao another victory for hexbear.
- We lost "First Lemmy Instance to produce a Domestic Terrorist" tho
  
  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.
  
  International terror is where it's at these days
  
  There's still "First Lemmy Instance to produce a based domestic terrorist".
  
  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

Not beating the Reddit.world accusations. 😏
- But have you considered .ML is evil tankie!?!!?
  
  it's cool that Mali (.ml) is one of the Sahel states that's rejecting imperialism and ML also happens to stand for marxism-leninism
  
  We need to step up our game. Quickly kill some white rich people, there's nothing more evil than that!
- I think theyre embracing the comparison

I bet he was an Arch user!
- Implying any of us go outside
  I've finally got my ultra minimalist system set up and I am going to bask in it's soothing glow.
- I'm unaware of this stereotype.
  
  Gonna second this, no clue about this one.
- What the fuck is wrong with you? This guy bombed a clinic, and you are joking about the distro he used?
  
  Found the Arch user.

A fascist on lemmy.world???

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.

Damn Axis.world made a domestic terrorist before Us
I guess we cant call ourselfs the most dangerous instance anymore

These weirdo antinatalists and their misanthropic ideology are very dangerous. They often like to hide their true intentions behind pseudo progressive opinions.
- I don't think they even do hide them very good, they are scratched really fast. Worse is that malthusianism runs pretty shallow under mainstream liberalism and is reproduced by white supremacy.
- . I wish the planet earth itself was hit with such a large celestial body as to simply explode
  This does not even dignify a response. Please seek professional help.

This person was removed as the sole mod for !antinatalism@lemmy.world three days ago.
Edit to add:
NBC: Reddit bans an anti-natalist group after Palm Springs explosion.
The Intercept: What is “Efilism,” the Obscure Anti-Natalist Ideology of the Palm Springs Bomber?
Rolling Stone: Palm Springs Bombing Suspect Apparently Promoted Human Extinction

He’s still the sole mod for !efilism@lemmy.world and !chemistry@lemmy.world, though those communities never really got off the ground.
- wtf? being a domestic terrorist is not against lemmy.world rules as long as you don't do it on the site...
- lmao

“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.

CIA plot confirmed

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

freakin sweet, this totally won't be used as a pretext to criminalize not using meta/twitter/reddit

Wonder if the wayback machine can find anything from reddit or if we can find their account on lemmy.
Fuckin wild and 100% un-surprised it was .world lol
- I linked his account on Lemmy.world in the original post. I couldn't find an active account on Reddit though, unless the LA Times reporters used the wayback machine themselves to see his old posts. I'm sure that they would be on wayback machine, but the article mentions a different web handle associated with him.

lmao, of course
