A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!
1. Be Civil
You may not agree on ideas, but please do not be needlessly rude or insulting to other people in this community.
2. No hate speech
Don't discriminate or disparage people on the basis of sex, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or sexuality.
3. Don't harass people
Don't follow people you disagree with into multiple threads or into PMs to insult, disparage, or otherwise attack them. And certainly don't doxx any non-public figures.
4. Stay on topic
This community is about cars, their externalities in society, car-dependency, and solutions to these.
5. No reposts
Do not repost content that has already been posted in this community.
Moderator discretion will be used to judge reports with regard to the above rules.
In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
I know this, but someone that just happens upon the community is most likely not gonna do enough poking around other posts to see that. Especially with the "deathtrap murderweapon vehicle users" mentality some people here have.
This is why there are different communities. This discussion was had a lot over at the other place, "fuck cars" is not exactly intended as the first contact people have with the thought that 'maybe car centric infrastructure isn't so great?'.
But it does seem to be the most popular, so it tends to be what most people will see first as far as I can tell.
It is what it is. I was just pointing out that no amount of telling people what is obvious to long timers is going to stop more outsiders from having the same reaction, so hopefully the community won't run out of patience for it.
On lemmy, is there some other place which is better suited for those people? (other than the German !oeffentlicherverkehr@feddit.de)
