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.

Rail projects and other good infrastructure projects get cancelled and resurface all the time in my country. Guess who cancels them?
Spoiler: Not engineers or city planners. Go on, take a guess.
How about this: you research how true this meme is and get back to use with how it isn't political?
i can get behind the need for less cars but when it gets politcal on a non political community i just block and move on
But thats the secret, its all political.
The reasons things are the way they are usually has politics underneath, as well as the reasons people push to keep things that way.
Usually if you don't see the politics you either already agree with the underlying politics or need to look harder.
And generally its easier/more effective to deal with the root cause than simply try and address the symptoms.
right! cuz the important people making those decisions are on the fediverse on fuckcars... you must be the type to upvote the post about saving the poor children in africa believe it made a difference.

So, to be clear, we can only make things political when they can be changed? No other time?
thats just called a circlejerk. enjoy that cracker in the center
Just block the sub and move on then dude. Its clearly not for you. Fuck cars is political in America because the manufacturers have been lobbying our government for decades.
