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.

I'm curious, what is your relationship to fuckcars and urbanism in general? Which subreddits and/or YouTube channels do/did you frequent?
What the fuck is this gatekeeping shit?
Who gives a fuck where they posted or what they watched.
Wow. First of all mate, let's chill out a little, hey? Personally, one of the things that I've loved about Lemmy so far is how much more civil it has been than Reddit. Let's try and keep it that way.
As to your main point: I'll be satisfied with an answer of "literally anything". I just suspect that this person isn't an urbanist, and has in fact just blown in from the wider car-brained community. I'm happy to be proven wrong on that though.
As a cyclist, hit and run by a car, resuscitated 3 times, massive blood loss, massive cranio-facial injuries and traumatic brain injury, zero compensation etc. I think I may have a reason to "fuck cars" but I don't. I was just trying to give a different perspective to the conversation. Which seems to have gone down like a diarrhoea thickshake.
So yeah I must have just blew in from the car brain community. Sorry to disturb your group, I will not bother you again.
I didn't think I needed a relationship to join a conversation.
