As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here.

Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here.

The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules:

Be Kind to each other
No Hate speech
Dont harass people
No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination
Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic)
Do not double post

Should also include: don’t invite violence against people who simply own cars.

I don't think it needs to be as specific as that why bit just don't incite violence. Period. Otherwise, it's making a statement about the community as a whole. (also, this is already covered by the rules)

Yep. Even the Netherlands makes their car appropriate paths great for cars.

Cars are still needed for distances too far to walk or to cycle at times when public transport doesn't run

I wish it weren't so, but it is so.

A blanket rule like that is deeply troubling. I'm glad the mods ignored you.

[–] austin@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Our goal is to peacefully encourage more people to cycle and convince car owners to use their car for less trips when viable to do so. A lot of people own cars, would calling them Nazis really help our cause?

My vision is we make cyclists and public transit users look like responsible happy citizens and attract jealousy of those stuck in traffic.

Then why call it Fuckcars? Call it CuddlyPussDriverLove

I find it good too vent at arseholes who drive. They hold all the power, we're not punching down here by making fun of, or laughing at them and it can be a relief valve to vent at their choices both directly and indirectly that enable the car centric shit show to.continue. I wouldn't go into /c/cars and expect angst against cars and drivers but /c/fuckcars ? Yeah... it's in the name

Is this community good for UK citizens too?

[–] wildcherry@slrpnk.net 0 points 8 months ago

Most of my friends got hit by cars. My best friend is gonna stay crippled because of some text-and-drive vroemer. Is you guys goal to convert drivers or to allow people to vent and organize against car-centric policy? Because if it's the former, it might not be a community for me.
