"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.

micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I can't tell you how many times I see residential roads filled with parked cars (including in bike lanes), while having EMPTY driveways large enough to easily fit 4 large vehicles. I'm talking one house after another, after another.

Is it a flex, or just douchebaggery?

I think a bit of laziness too, because they would have to take some time to think about the order in which they park their cars

I do have to give kudos to my neighbour.

They have three vehicles in a narrow driveway and ALWAYS take the time to move them. We're talking at least four times a day, ranging from 4am to late evening.

I've never seen them parked on the road. Not even once.
