Not Just Bikes
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

What are you even doing in this community if you don’t like Jason’s videos?
You’re pissed at me for linking to a video by Not Just Bikes on the platform the creator of Not Just Bikes partially owns and which is the only source available for that video, on the Not Just Bikes community? Dude pull your fucking head in. If you don’t want to watch it, then just don’t watch it. There’s absolutely no call for the arseholish behaviour you’ve been exhibiting in this thread.
If you’re brand new to NJB, then sincerely, welcome. Don’t watch this video, it’s not aimed at you. There’s a reason he only put it up on Nebula. I’d highly recommend checking out more of the videos available on his public YouTube channel. I might recommend starting with his video on "stroads" or why suburbia is a bad place for kids to grow up.
There are also great videos on similar topics from the channels "CityNerd", "City Beautiful", and “RM Transit", all of which are also on Nebula in addition to YouTube. And “Oh the Urbanity” has a bit more of a liberal (as opposed to progressive) streak, but are largely good for urbanism as well, on YouTube only.
As far as Nebula goes, you should absolutely not sign up for it unless you’re already a fan of at least some of the creators on the platform. It’s basically like a super-patreon where you pay to support a larger number of creators under one payment, in exchange for exclusive videos, videos earlier, and no ads. Aside from the excellent suite of urbanist creators, there are also news channels (TLDR News), videos about people’s professions (lawyer Legal Eagle, doctor Medlife Crisis, therapist Georgia Dow), media analysis (Lindsay Ellis—exclusively, since the harassment campaign got severe enough to drive her off YouTube—Sarah Z, Patrick H Willems), games shows (travel show Jet Lag, Yugioh gameshow Chaos Corp, game theory experiment Tom Scott’s Money), among many other subjects and channels. Nebula is good deal if only two or three of the channels on it interest you, and you want to financially support them, avoid ads, and/or get early/exclusive content. If there aren’t, you shouldn’t feel bad about not subscribing, but there’s still no call for that sort of attitude towards it.
So you got triggered by a paywall and instead of closing the browser/tab you decided to waste more time to come back here and carry on a conversation bitching about being trigger by the paywall.
