Fuck Cars

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.

Here’s a link to the source to bypass the reddit crap

I’m not OP, I didn’t choose the content, just helping get to the source.

I'm aware, just the irony.

Try Nitter/Squawker? I rarely visit the big sites directly anymore. Quite a few OSS web and mobile clients available

For Reddit there is Stealth which scrapes old.reddit, since reddit canned thirdparty apps

Last I heard Nitter got canned due to Twitter API changes

I'm staying away completely.

I stopped using Twitter as soon as the 3rd party app ban happened and Reddit once it was clear they weren't backing down from their effective killing of the same.

How does nitter work? If it’s just a different front end to Twitter/X then it’s not really a bypass.

Real train is much more comfortable 👎😍

Thanks for the direct link

Here's a link to a privacy-respecting less-shit version:

I mean, at least you can dismiss Reddit’s login nag and you can expando without having to visit Reddit

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, let's reinvent the train for the billionth time.
