Being one of the more controversial subs on reddit, its more important here than most that reports are monitored regularly so that offending posts and comments are removed in a timely fashion. Our philosophy against censorship is at ever-increasing odds with reddits philosophy of making advertising money through banning content that advertisers dont like — theyre always looking for reasons to shut us down, and its critical to our continued existence that we dont give them reason to do so. Having a larger mod team that can remove problematic content expeditiously is key to that continued existence.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To that end, we are excited to announce that we are officially opening up &lt;a href=&quot;/r/antinatalism&quot;&gt;r/antinatalism&lt;/a&gt; mod applications! We have a thriving community of antinatalists of all ages, races, religions, philosophies, countries (…and time zones!) that generate more antinatalist discussion every day than was created every year before the advent of the internet — that discussion needs your help :)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A little bit about the ideal moderators and moderatoresses we are looking for:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;We welcome debate and opinions, even when problematic or controversial. We believe that the best way to defeat bad beliefs and opinions is to disarm them through reason, not censorship. Were opposed to censorship beyond what is absolutely, positively necessary for the continued function of the sub, meaning that we remove only submissions which violate reddits sitewide rules, or our very limited set of rules. Moderating &lt;a href=&quot;/r/antinatalism&quot;&gt;r/antinatalism&lt;/a&gt; is very often an exercise in leaving up content you disagree with strongly.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;We are less-than-anonymous. Both Amanda and myself (the seniormost mods) intentionally link their online and offline identities. In the past, the moderation team has had weekly Zoom video calls where we discuss relevant matters and coördinate moderation strategy. Whilst we respect that there will be cases where circumstances prevent moderators from revealing their identity in this way, we have a strong preference for moderators who are comfortable attending these calls. (Note: We arent sure were going to be bringing back the calls, but wed like the option of doing so.)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Engaged and long-term members of the community are particularly encouraged to apply. We will not be selecting moderators based on their flavour of antinatalist philosophy — as long as you enforce the rules objectively, you dont even have to be an antinatalist to apply! — but a history of active participation on the sub is a positive factor amongst our selection criteria.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;As our userbase is spread throughout the world, it would be great to have mods in different time zones. We encourage global submissions from moderators — remote time zones are an asset for moderation purposes, not a liability.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you are interested in becoming a moderator, were interested in hearing from you! Please DM this account (&lt;a href=&quot;/u/ANgroupMOD&quot;&gt;u/ANgroupMOD&lt;/a&gt;) with responses to the following get-to-know-you questions:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Do you have any moderation experience? If so, on which subreddit(s) and for how long?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Do you prefer taking a heavy or light moderating hand?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;What is your personal ethos in managing differences of opinion?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;How many hours per week would you be willing to commit to moderating?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Which timezone are you in? (GMT±X)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;In addition to modqueue management, would you be interested in being involved with other needed tasks in the sub, such as rule development?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;What do you envision being able to bring to the sub that you feel to be lacking currently? (If thats simply your time, thats okay too! Were all volunteers.)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Would you be willing to go through some Zoom training to properly run &lt;a href=&quot;/r/Antinatalism&quot;&gt;r/Antinatalism&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Are you an active AN content producer (please provide links), and are you involved in other AN communities off of Reddit?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;As a general rule, we are transparent (sometimes to a fault) and encouraging of public discussion. We are even one of the largest subs on the site who have chosen to make their modlog public (you can access this through the sidebar link). However, for this one specific process, we are making an exception to that rule. Please note that this thread will be locked to new comments, and that drama-related comments and threads will be subject to removal for the next fortnight. (Note: We do see the irony in censoring content made in response to a post looking for team members who wont censor. Past experience on the sub has made it such that we feel this is unfortunately necessary as a very temporary and exceptional measure. We have only invoked this policy once before in the history of the sub and hope to make this the last.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thank you for your consideration and we look forwards to hearing from you!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/r/Antinatalism&quot;&gt;r/Antinatalism&lt;/a&gt; mod team&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/ANgroupMOD&quot;&gt; /u/ANgroupMOD &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/yz7a7q/open_call_for_moderator_applications/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/yz7a7q/open_call_for_moderator_applications/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_yz7a7q</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/yz7a7q/open_call_for_moderator_applications/" /><updated>2022-11-19T08:36:18+00:00</updated><published>2022-11-19T08:36:18+00:00</published><title>Open call for moderator applications</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/Oldphan</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/Oldphan</uri></author><category term="antinatalism" label="r/antinatalism"/><content type="html">&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10cs81v/mechanized_antinatalism_open_ai_2_matti_häyry/&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://external-preview.redd.it/iivBQD-T8f12wFjj3VwIhEsYBZqCoG1KVsINEBNyZn4.jpg?width=320&amp;amp;crop=smart&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=b2afb86b5a5a1fe5bb3214bed64fd758914bcbb5&quot; alt=&quot;mechANized: Antinatalism &amp;amp; Open AI #2 Matti Häyry &amp;amp; Amanda Sukenick&quot; title=&quot;mechANized: Antinatalism &amp;amp; Open AI #2 Matti Häyry &amp;amp; Amanda Sukenick&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/Oldphan&quot;&gt; /u/Oldphan &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://youtube.com/watch?v=0JMw7OU_mnE&amp;amp;feature=share&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10cs81v/mechanized_antinatalism_open_ai_2_matti_häyry/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</content><id>t3_10cs81v</id><media:thumbnail url="https://external-preview.redd.it/iivBQD-T8f12wFjj3VwIhEsYBZqCoG1KVsINEBNyZn4.jpg?width=320&amp;crop=smart&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=b2afb86b5a5a1fe5bb3214bed64fd758914bcbb5" /><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10cs81v/mechanized_antinatalism_open_ai_2_matti_häyry/" /><updated>2023-01-15T19:18:33+00:00</updated><published>2023-01-15T19:18:33+00:00</published><title>mechANized: Antinatalism &amp; Open AI #2 Matti Häyry &amp; Amanda Sukenick</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/Racheldagamer94</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/Racheldagamer94</uri></author><category term="antinatalism" label="r/antinatalism"/><content type="html">&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10jf4u5/i_love_my_life_as_a_parent_i_just_dont_want_to/&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://preview.redd.it/5iac017uruda1.jpg?width=640&amp;amp;crop=smart&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=2127f472ef7b7afe36cb93c74c7bc3b254c9568c&quot; alt=&quot;“I love my life as a parent.

If you reject that bringing any conscious existence is wrong, and argue that it is only wrong in the case of humans, you have to be able to define (in order to be logically consistent) what it is about humans that justifies that differential treatment (that it is wrong for humans but ok for animals). Ofcourse if you are not able to define the traits the differential treatment is completely arbitrary, thus illogical. But let&amp;#39;s say you do identify the trait/s. Let&amp;#39;s say the trait is intelligence, humans simply are more intelligent than pigs for example. Would it then be ok to bring humans of the level of intelligence of pigs to be brough into existence? Doesn&amp;#39;t seem right, does it? You can go on trying to find traits and it will never really feel quiet right, sooner or later you&amp;#39;ll find out the differential treatment was always arbitrary, imposed by our culture more than anything else. Also, if you wanna reject veganism you not only have to find the trait that makes it ok for the hypothetical humans to be brought into existence, but you would have to be ok to breed and kill them, becomes harder doesn&amp;#39;t it?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- SC_ON --&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/KnowUrEnemy_&quot;&gt; /u/KnowUrEnemy_ &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10jepus/veganism_is_a_logical_extension_of_antinatalism/&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10jepus/veganism_is_a_logical_extension_of_antinatalism/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><id>t3_10jepus</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10jepus/veganism_is_a_logical_extension_of_antinatalism/" /><updated>2023-01-23T15:11:45+00:00</updated><published>2023-01-23T15:11:45+00:00</published><title>Veganism is a logical extension of Antinatalism</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/Idiotic_oliver</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/Idiotic_oliver</uri></author><category term="antinatalism" label="r/antinatalism"/><content type="html">&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10juhju/why_i_am_an_antinatalist_as_an_autistic_person/&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://external-preview.redd.it/ND1NVFpyd0NGbzvqGNYoDLGCP-bm3F_COjWdZOmjLwU.png?width=320&amp;amp;crop=smart&amp;amp;auto=webp&amp;amp;s=298481395a4d35b5174528cdc64861f48c93cbeb&quot; alt=&quot;Why I am an antinatalist as an autistic person&quot; title=&quot;Why I am an antinatalist as an autistic person&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &amp;#32; submitted by &amp;#32; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/user/Idiotic_oliver&quot;&gt; /u/Idiotic_oliver &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://v.redd.it/bgrj8xflyxda1&quot;&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#32; &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10juhju/why_i_am_an_antinatalist_as_an_autistic_person/&quot;&gt;[comments]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;</content><id>t3_10juhju</id><media:thumbnail url="https://external-preview.redd.it/ND1NVFpyd0NGbzvqGNYoDLGCP-bm3F_COjWdZOmjLwU.png?width=320&amp;crop=smart&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=298481395a4d35b5174528cdc64861f48c93cbeb" /><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/antinatalism/comments/10juhju/why_i_am_an_antinatalist_as_an_autistic_person/" /><updated>2023-01-24T02:12:38+00:00</updated><published>2023-01-24T02:12:38+00:00</published><title>Why I am an antinatalist as an autistic person</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/kruzwayne27</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/kruzwayne27</uri></author><category term="antinatalism" label="r/antinatalism"/><content type="html">&lt;!-- SC_OFF --&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;md&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;i was reading a thread about police brutality and someone said that a lot of these people join the police force since they were bullied and were too weak and/or scared to stand up for themselves, so they become cops to finally have authority over other people and treat them the same way they were once treated. you know, as a depressing, pathetic attempt to &amp;quot;fix&amp;quot; their un-fixable egos.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;obv not all cops have this backstory, and this post isn&amp;#39;t about that anyway. i just correlated that concept in my head to abusive parents, or mean-spirited bully parents in general. do you think there&amp;#39;s a correlation between being bullied or harassed by other kids (or their parents), and then growing up to be what they despise?

is a self proclaimed environmental movement, they do share qualities of other environmental movements their focus is more on what the name suggests - continuing humanity through an environmental crisis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What I would call as a &amp;quot;true environmental movement&amp;quot; cares about the world, it cares about ecosystems, and it wants humans to have less control over the planet. While Extinction Rebellion simply wants the issues that face humans to be stopped to allow us to continue existing and having kids, helping ecosystems is a byproduct of helping us.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Having children is the single worst thing you can do for the environment, a huge amount of recources are needed for every person and a huge amount of waste is produced, they can also go on to have kids and cause more problems. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is however Extinction Rebellion&amp;#39;s first goal to have a world that is free from ecological issues because that is apparently the only thing that is causing misery in the world.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I went home for the weekend, and my sister and her boyfriend are members (her boyfriend is more into it but talks about it less. My sister likes to talk the talk, she was vegan for 4 months and is now semi-vegitarian but talks about veganism a lot, boyfriend is vegan and I&amp;#39;ve never heard him talk about it) and it takes up a lot of her personality.&lt;br/&gt; They&amp;#39;ve been plastering Extinction Rebellion stickers on things around town with her kids, and they gave me some of the stickers. I explained that I don&amp;#39;t agree with the reasoning of the group as a means for having more kids when it seems that one part of the solution is having less, ideally none. My sister said I was wrong because if there were no people there wouldn&amp;#39;t be anyone to appreciate nature (which surprisingly, despite how poor of a reason it is, it&amp;#39;s the best reason my sister has given about anything ever).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They&amp;#39;ve been trying to preserve a small patch of woodland, in private land, next to an industrial estate and a busy road where in the wood is so noisy from cars there is no native wildlife. They are trying to incorporate Extinction Rebellion into it, somehow this bit of woodland is vital for us and for our survival and so should be protected.
