>having a child
Not sure if you've noticed but younger generations that go out and do things are big into having children. Now, some groups on reddit are more extreme on that, but the general trend of Americans at least is to tell the act of having kids to screw off.

But to answer your question, it's not Reddit that has this moral system, it's social media in general that has a moral system that does not match reality (kinda). The loudest idiots tend to get voted up, moderates disappear in the bulk of posts. Binary voting systems on sites tend to amplify this. Content suggestion systems tend to lift up contentious posts for engagement. Welcome to the internet.
But coming back to (kinda). This is becoming reality. Behavior IRL affects behavior online. Online behavior affects IRL behavior. People don't talk to their neighbors these days in most places. Communities are spread all over the earth.
