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.

Downvoting because I don't want this is clearly a ad for your YouTube channel.
Id downvote twice if I could because the obnoxious YouTube image.
I'm not the creator of the video (I used the video's title when posting it here), I just thought it was interesting that even a dude who loves cars can't look past the downsides of them, It's almost, but not quite like seeing a car magazine shit on cars.
It was a good watch and nice to see a YouTuber speak their mind about downsides of car culture, even if there's a huge risk of annoying their audience.
Id recommend not giving them the clicks and just summarizing.
Influencers make cringe bait because they know people will share it. And you played right into their hands.
Do you believe he is being disingenuous? I didn't really get that vibe from him.
Welcome to Lemmy.
Lemmy doesn't have ads like reddit, so there's no rules against self promotion, which only existed to drive folks to pay reddit money.
Self-promotion is welcome on Lemmy.
It's like they got a fuckin toddler to cut out pictures of cars 😂
Did your mum stick this on the fridge when you got home, OP?
