Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't really like this narrative where we make people feel bad about having a kid. People are allowed to have kids.

“We need to take drastic action to avoid causing our own extinction via climate change and leave a habitable world for future generations!”

People have kids so there will be a future generation

The holier-than-thou attitude on Lemmy is arguably worse than reddit

someone disagreeing with you is not holier-than-thou

Well the guy acts surprised, like nobody has seen this coming for 50+ years and especially the last 20 years. Put some thought into having children before you do. If more people did, we wouldn't be as deep in the shit as we are today. And people are allowed to criticise other poeple for having kids when they shouldn't.

Hey, this is a fair sentiment. I took your tone initially as a judgmental one, but after rereading, I think I assumed too much. Thanks for the reply
