Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

So many pro car sentiments in fuck cars. What is this nonsense? We dont need robo drivers before we have human centric cities.
Ha! I actually left reddit 14 months ago because I thought users of /r/fuckcars were too much pro cars. Like, there was a post of a dude with a giant pickup truck driving in a snow storm saying that if there were trains, he'd use it, bit now he's "stuck" using a pickup truck to drive between two cities during a snow storm because "he had bo other choice". And that crap was upvoted and defended.
Like, if I made comments that were too much 'fuck cars!' in /r/fuckcars, I would be told that some people would just loooooove to use public transit but there's none where they live so they really don't like it but don't have any other choice than using a car that they "hate" but don't want to give up.
Lots of users of a sub against cars that couldn't walk nor bike to save their lives. They want bus, trains... taxis or cars.. but walking and cycling? No. AmEriCa iS BiG aNd RuRal So YoU woULdN't uNdErStAnD! Yet I live in an even "emptier" and bigger country...
They wanna "get rid" of their cars but as soon as someone proposes to walk a bit, or bike somewhere, they are like "but what about robotaxis?!" FFS!
My theory is that due to a relative lack of content a lot of Lemmy users browse the all feed.
Its just nuts.
"I have to go to the train station"
"My car goes right to my house"
Yes, this is what shit is like when society is built around cars and not you, a human being.
