I can’t tell if I got wooshed or if that’s just really unfortunate wording, because an antinatalist would probably think of having children as “introducing new problems into the world.”
If you create a new community, someone has to maintain it, it needs to be monitored and moderated. It can even outlive the interests of its creator, thus forcing someone else to inherit these headaches.
So, the joke was that I was equating the inconveniences of creating a new community to the way that a child can become burdensome on a community because “well, now someone has to care for this.”
It sounds like you completely got the joke and that the real problem here is that it was barely funny enough to make you exhale sharply through your nose. The good news is that no one is gonna fault you for my frequently unfunny sense of humor.
This one was more meant to make people go “hmmm” than “haha.”

I’m surprised there isn’t an antinatalist community on lemmy.

@gnutrino@programming.dev beat me to it. I was gonna reply “it’s because we don’t like introducing new problems into the world.”
