What does "childfree" mean to you? (piefed.social)

Came across this community in my feed, and after browsing a bit I'm intrigued.

As an "outsider", I would have assumed this place would be about enjoying a childfree lifestyle, but it seems to be more than that.

For example, I see lots of posts and comments that seem to allude to extinctionism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Human_Extinction_Movement

That caught me off guard since I figured this place would be more like "look at all this free time and money and freedom I have to enjoy my life to the fullest in any way I want". Now I'm curious.

It seems like there's a whole spectrum of ideas that are getting lumped into the same bucket. What's your take? What brought you here?

ya having no extra stressors at home was probably one of my biggest motivating factors.

I im thoroughly in the camp that NOBODY who works a 40 hour work week and has to come home to raise kids is able to stay sane. the 40 hour work week is archaic and self destructive as far as my experience has shown me. Im not taking on an extra stressor that will surely land me into a psych ward.
