FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Right or wrong is beside the point. Therapy is about emotional balance and well-being. I sincerely hope you're well but these kinds of rants often come across as personal anger being projected on topic x. I don't doubt that's how you see the world around you at the moment but not everyone does and that doesn't mean they're wrong, blind or stupid. Some people can see the same atrocious state you see and counterbalance it with the good they can also see around them. Being aware of our species wrong-doings is as important as becoming sensitive to its virtues. If someone can't see any virtues at all, to the point they advocate death, they're more likely either insensitive or have been handed a very rough hand in life. Therapy can help in any of those cases.
Actually, right or wrong is the point. I'm making an argument based on facts, and your argument is based on wild assumptions about me, based on my few paragraphs, not your actual thoughts. If you had good counter points then I would change my mind, but you don't.
The problem isn't the hand I was dealt with - it's everyones. I have been lucky enough to have a not too bad, not too good existence but that never stopped me from looking at the less unfortunate to understand how they live. Do you want to talk about child prostitutes, slaves, people who have to scrape food from others trash cans to eat? Living in a coffin size "apartments" in Asian slums? People who have nowhere to eat, sleep, nowhere to call theirs? Who work with their hands in awful conditions for a life for millionaires they'd never mert? Aside from people, what about the countless dead animals, for sports, just fun etc? Had to die because their forests were taken and burned? Thousands of gallons of poison in all oceans, microplastics in our veins? What kind of virtue counter-acts this kind of destruction?
See, there are so many things that we do that require rage. I am not raging about my life, I am raging about the life we created in this world for ourselves and everything else. You may choose to bury your head in the sand and keep saying "oh, there's a virtue, my life is worth living now" when you see another rainforest burning down, or another child murdered, that means you're desensitised. You feeling good or bad about these things don't change a damn thing.
Also, to make it clear, antinatalists are not terrorists or something lol, they oppose pain. They simply choose not to reproduce. This isn't as extreme as any of you are making it to be.
Cool. I'm not making an argument nor countering whatever it is you believe, please don't mistake my engagement, have zero interest in 'discussing' with you. I was merely answering your question about my previous comment. Live as you see fit.
Oh, sorry, did any of your pearls fall? Thanks for your precious "engagement". I surely won't mistake it with any meaningful encounter. Just another one with someone who lacks knowledge but has opinions on the matter for some reason, and cannot be bothered to think for a second to make an argument that isn't empty virtue signaling.
I guess it's scary for some people to participate in even a conversation about something new with an open mind without being condescending. All while defending "virtue", ironically.
Have a nice day!
Irony, thy name is ... well, just check the user name. It's all you need.
