News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We're already there?
I am 31 years old. A lot of my friends aren't chasing partners, yet those who do don't really want to make babies due to the long array of problems affecting quality of life.
I'm not exactly a baby-maker myself. I am quite anti-natalist as a matter of fact.
Historically, people have made babies under much more dire circumstances and some of them made it through so we're here today. I don't feel like having kids either, I know, but I think this sentiment comes from a luxurious position.
Historically, people didn't have easy access to multiple forms of birth control.
But then they've already started working on that: Dobbs, period policing, "NO CONDOMS FOR GAZA!!!"
I guess we just need to switch to sodomy
Despite dire circumstances those people might have had hope for the future
My mother was born in a basement during the bombardments of Dresden while the house above them was burning. Her mother had barely made it out of the second floor with burning phosphorus running down the walls. At this point, my grandparents had been on the road for quite a while, narrowly escaping the Russian front, starting with leaving behind every single thing they owned at their farm estate in Silesia. They had nothing but their clothes on their back and they already experienced, that nobody wanted anything to do with the refugees from the east.
My inconveniences are mild, compared to that. They are significant for me, but historically, we're still at an all time high compared to our ancestors, unless you have old money in your bloodline.
If they had to leave everything behind then probably also condoms - good for you! 😅
