The community currently has no mod and has previously attracted concerning content.

If a suitable volunteer mod who is interested in the community can be found I will happily step aside, however until that time I will moderate the sub in good faith and with clear rules.

    It shouldn’t, not as an ideology nor as a community. Fucking creepy people lusting after the extinction of mankind.

      Antinatalism goes back as far as ancient Greek philosophy, and not all avenues of thought conclude that life must cease altogether.

      To entertain thoughts you disagree with is an admirable thing and a core pillar of philosophy.

      I chose not to call for the closure of the community and instead volunteered as a mod because I value philosophy and discussion and nothing more.

      What the admins do is up to them.

        That’s a noble way to go, although i personally don’t think that just because some philosophy is old it also has merit.

          That’s true however my primary concern is that the community is open, and likely to attract users as the antinatalism and related subreddits have been banned.

          If it remains open it needs a mod to ensure that extremist rhetoric isn’t allowed to fester there.

            I added you as the mod. I am also conflicted over whether this community should exist. But as long as it’s here, it should at least have an active mod to keep an eye on things.

            Thanks for volunteering.

              Thanks, if admins determine the community should be closed I will understand. Until then, or until I find a more suitable moderator, I will do my best to be an impartial mod.
