Trying to start FuckCars c/fuckcars

If you miss it, help by posting too!

Just because I am able to live without one currently. It does not mean that everyone is able. I am not saying fuck all cars, just that we need to get them off our planet pretty soon for the benefit of all people. So currently for me Fuck Cars is just Fuck all Cars that are useless and not needed! Some people need cars and probably don't like it too! For me personally this communtiy is to rant about cars and why they suck for us all. Giving ideas for better world without cars and showing people that love cars that there are good reasons to hate them too.

I understand what you see, seems bad for you but thats currently how the world is. A bit fucked up. But we all try to change it to a better place and I think that is great and why I love communities like this one (:

Yeah you are right, its my first time being moderator for such a big community. I just wan't to make the thought process behind my/our decisions more clear for everyone and I think that would not hurt. But thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it

Okay based on you guys and your feedback I will let this community continue! It seems like a good thing. It was of course not my intention to "steal" any community members or anything like that. Just to create something I missed here and have not found.

I don't see any problem in existing both communities and everyone can feel free to use whichever they want.

But nonetheless thanks for pointing out that another one exists!

I am one of the poorer people in Germany, so at the very lower end. I am still pretty happy to be here because my lifestyle is quite better than in most of the other world. But I don't see where I could make any bigger changes anymore.

• I don't drive (Fuck Cars!)
• I do not fly
• I eat near to none meat
• When I travel, I travel only inside Germany with trains
• I try to work in a field that helps the public transportation

And so on. I understand the point you are trying to make. But for me it seems like the good old, you as a person are a problem! Not the industry, the policy makers and the fucking rich people with private planes.

Don't get me wrong here, I still see how entitled I am and that I can still change some small things... But sadly, that won't save the world

Hey there, so far none of the mods were moderators of the Reddit sub. I was a great lurker of the FuckCars Subreddit and wanted that community also here.

Thanks for sharing! I completely forgot about his story and its just so tragic. It feels good to remember it again. And hopefully not forgetting it.

Okay what exactly do you wan't him to do? Thats what I want to know. I mean he is doing quite good in seeing the issues and he also wants some change. Probably not as much as some of us, thats hard to say because I dont know him. So as long as people are not against that change we can first treat them maybe as allies?

You seem to see the world in black and white. And I think that is hurting you somewhat. I was the same a few years earlier but I realized that the world is way to complex to make it that easy.

Was quite important for me on reddit. But I was lurking a lot there. So now trying to help a community that great to start again!

The delays and cancellations were already a big problem of the network. But its still a good thing that we now have such a thing like the Deutschland Ticket. It gives people that did not have the money the possibility to travel again and when the Goverment sees that Rail gets used much. There is hope that they will invest more in it

Telegram has no end to end encryption as default. You can enable it with secure chat but that is making the chats unaviable in other devices.

I can really recommend signal, been using it as my only messaging app for years and it just is so more secure. Most people installed it too after I asked them to do it to keep contact

You can all discuss your points here but don't be pricks about it!

Yes I understand that this is a heated topic, but I wan't to remind all to be please stay civiliced and friendly! Think about what you are writing and that its not against people. Remember the rules of this instance. I just wan't to remind you all that we have the same goal in common.

It does not require to share it with other people tho. Still as far as I know they save it on their servers. Signal tries to not save any metadata at all. That's great.

Understandable, I have not read much about the problems of Lemmy.ml so thanks for pointing that out. Do you have any sources? Would like to read more about that

Thats my mistake then! I was sure I checked if it exists, before I created this one.

I think that would be another community

So far I would say so :D Could become quite funny. But I would say we see how this gets. I mean its a community thing (:

Ah that could have been it (: Love the idea and that's why I try to implement it here!

I don't know where you live. I live in Germany and know some people that are dependend on Cars and do not like it at all. Mostly outside of cities its just not possible to get to work without a car. If they would have alternatives they would switch. So as I said, we should be open to people and show them why it hurts also them and not just scream fuck cars only. We should rally for a better public transporting infrastructure and why it is also good for people that currently depend on cars.

And we are asking quite a lot how we can change things so we don't need them anymore. So for now, fuck all cars that are not needed. And fuck the politicians that they don't give the people alternatives. Fuck everything that makes cars more dependend in Daily live.

And we should also celebrate all changes that all changes to car centric infrastructure. Its still a long way, but I think just saying everone should just get off their job and not use cars anymore is not the best way...

Can confirm that, did lurk a lot here before without account. Noweirdnessess.

But I love that it is really growing!
