This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Meanwhile India's incredible train network suffers continuing decades of neglect resulting in poor performance and tragic rail disasters.

We need a fuckplanes community to complement !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml.

1044 Airbus plane orders just from India alone? Well on our way to getting out of this climate mess, aren't we?

Does anyone remember at the beginning of the pandemic when there was a dip in the amount of CO2 that was being spewed into the atmosphere because there was a huge slump in manufacturing due to people staying home to avoid getting sick? I'm not saying that was good, because a lot of people were suffering, but there was a brief period where it felt like if we can do this, we can perhaps make large changes to slow down climate change.

Here were are sort of post-pandemic and it's basically gone back to normal. There seems to be a huge rebound of tourism, planes flying everywhere and the only thing that hasn't gone back to how it was before the pandemic is the prices of stuff due to massive inflation.
