Reddit bans an anti-natalist group after Palm Springs explosion

This community sucks but we far as I know none of these people suggested bombing a fertility clinic on it. Do they ban all Muslim subs after Islamic terror attacks or anti abortion subs when someone bombs an abortion clinic? I hate the direction Reddit moderation has taken because this kind of reactionary bullshit will probably just push these people onto telegram chats and discord channels where they actually will get radicalized instead of just whining about how they wished they had never been born.

That's such bullshit. The whole concept of anti-natalism is built around suffering being bad. Bombing people is causing suffering and goes directly against AN.

“Violence has no place on Reddit,” the spokesperson said. “Our sitewide rules strictly prohibit any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence. In line with these rules, we are removing any instances of the suspect’s manifesto or recordings and hashing to prevent reupload. We’re also closely monitoring the communities on our platform to ensure compliance with our rules.”
But they have no problem with violent right wing subreddits.
- What does this have to do with politics? Anti-natalism isn't exactly a right- or left-wing ideology either.
  What violent right-wing subs are they okay with?

"Being born is like being kidnapped, and then sold into slavery."
-Andy Warhol
We will see more people who feel this way as our society deteriorates under corrupt leadership.
Edit: he didn't hurt anyone besides himself, more than can be said for the avg right wing terrorist.
- Let's not excuse a guy attempting to blow up a random fertility clinic.
  It's perfectly reasonable not to want children yourself, but definitely not to (attempt to) blow someone up for wanting it, Warhol sympathy or not.
- He did injure 4 people, but they've been released from the hospital.

Good. I’ve seen stuff on that sub back when I used that site. It’s takes “I don’t want to have kids and society should stop making me feel bad about it” to the extreme of “nobody should have kids and people that do are child abusers”.
Sadly, they seem like a lot of broken people.
- Not broken. Just mentally unwell. We have a national mental health crisis. Normalizing and increasing accessibility to treatment is imperative.
  
  I don’t know if it’s mentally unwell to not want children or to question the sanity of having children in this current society or other such situation like the poverty 2/3rds the world experiences.
  As a parent, I feel guilt for my child to have to put up with this bs, especially in the workforce that I have dealt with in the 21 years I’ve been working. This shit sucks, and I hate living in this capitalist society we’ve built. There’s no logical way to escape it and just live freely.
  And I’m poor in America. It’s even worse being poor outside of America. I honestly think it’s mentally unwell to keep having children in those circumstances.
  And let’s add some context before I get chewed out by the smiling happy NT people:
  I am autistic. My son is autistic. Life is very difficult and stressful every day because society was not built in any way that fits us. We have priorities and needs that run completely opposite of American society, its economy, its structure. The toiling for ten hours, coming home in the same traffic, raising kids until night, getting an hour to yourself, then bed to just wake up and do it all again for 40 years just feels like death.
  And who wants to be forced to subjected to that?
- Reddit is the place that proves that this society have an extreme mental health issue.
  
  I think this is one of the challenges of the internet. If I'm at work, school, the store, etc. and I see a nutjob, I can usually recognize it and I will treat that person differently and I sure the heck aren't going to give his opinions a lot of credibility. On the internet, we are all equal. It has some benefits, but there's a major disadvantage that people suffering from serious delusions are treated the same as everyone else.

Reddit's (to some exent, Lemmy too) Misanthropy is kinda oddly unsettling.
I mean, people would joke about ending the world because humans "deserved it", sure funny joke, but I'm starting to be worried if they are just joking or are some people actually planning to "punish" humanity for the wrongdoings of a few politicians that run the world.

Reddit bans people for the dumbest reasons.

Reddit has banned a community devoted to a nihilistic, anti-life philosophy
This sentence contradicts itself. Devotion to a philosophy or ideology is precisely what nihilism is not.
To the argument "The Earth is valuable and should be protected" the nihilist would point out that earth having value depends on the continued existence of Humans.
- I thought that was existentialists

Antinatalism is what you get when a narcissist is suicidal. “If I shouldn’t live, nobody should!”
- Antinatalism =/= Misanthropy
- Counterpoint - antinatalism is what you get when the world is objectively a much worse place during someone's prime reproductive years than it was during their childhood.
  
  That offers an explanation as to why someone might choose to not have kids, not why someone should believe that nobody should and start using toxic pejoratives for people who do.
- Except he was the only one who died?
  He targeted an empty building. But this is going to be spread more than any right wing mass shooter in the last decade.
