Unfortunately this page is currently not working correctly!
An update to the Pushshift API, which this tracker relies on to get data from Reddit, that was released in December 2022 has broken several features of the API. Since this tracker relied on some of those features it has unfortunately stopped working properly and can currently not return any useful results. A fix for the Pushshift API is supposedly in the works but there has been no update on when it can be expected. Since I could not find any good alternative service to provide similar results there is unfortunately nothing we can do but wait for a fix to the Pushshift API.
This page can help you find discussions about antinatalism on Reddit. It tracks the 500 most recent comments containing the word "antinatalism" (or similar terms) which were left on subreddits that are not themselves about antinatalism. Please use this list for information purposes only and respect the rules of any subreddit linked from here.
The list is refreshed twice per day. New comments since last refresh are marked red.
