I personally disagree with the sentiment that going child-free is the solution to ecological catastrophe. Any individual's decision to have children, or not, hardly compares to the systemic issues within agriculture and natural resource management which are causing it.

I thought beehaw was supposed to be the “nice” instance. You and others have done a wonderful job proving that otherwise today.

Well, the original comment in this thread which upset you came from your own instance. From where I'm sitting, that comment has been pretty much the only not-really-nice interaction you've had all day on here. Don't really see where this strawman is coming from.
