    Reddit has banned a community devoted to a nihilistic, anti-life philosophy

    This sentence contradicts itself. Devotion to a philosophy or ideology is precisely what nihilism is not.

    To the argument “The Earth is valuable and should be protected” the nihilist would point out that earth having value depends on the continued existence of Humans.

      I disagree with the premise that the Earth is valuable because of the existence of humans, historical or continued. Indeed I would argue that it is less so, from certain perspectives.
