Check the sidebar - this is /c/childfree

I'm guessing you came here from All and didn't seek out this community specifically?

Scrolling through All provides a glimpse into the variety the Fediverse offers. Even when I find a community I don't agree with or care to hear about, I can simply block it. Meanwhile, I'm glad that those who do value those topics have a place to discuss things.

Which is all to say that those who feel strongly about being childfree deserve their space to talk about it, regardless of your feelings toward their opinions. This is their space, and nobody's forcing you to be here.

I'm sorry, but how did this post explain how the fediverse works?

Let me take a stab at explaining how the fediverse works.

The fediverse is a loose collection of communities with different rules and values that freely decide to share content with each other. These communities foster different opinions. The choice to freely associate with other communities is the antithesis to echo chambers, meaning we don't go around with an attitude of "that kind of thought doesn't happen here".
