[meta][discussion] Rules for this Community
(lemmy.world)
Should also include: don’t invite violence against people who simply own cars.
I don't think it needs to be as specific as that why bit just don't incite violence. Period. Otherwise, it's making a statement about the community as a whole. (also, this is already covered by the rules)
Yep. Even the Netherlands makes their car appropriate paths great for cars.
Cars are still needed for distances too far to walk or to cycle at times when public transport doesn't run
I wish it weren't so, but it is so.
Most of my friends got hit by cars. My best friend is gonna stay crippled because of some text-and-drive vroemer. Is you guys goal to convert drivers or to allow people to vent and organize against car-centric policy? Because if it's the former, it might not be a community for me.
I'm concerned about the definitions of some of the terms in these rules
-
What does it mean to be kind? Do you have to agree with everyone? Are you allowed to say the fuck word?
-
What does it mean to attack other people? Are we talking ad hominem, or is making an argument with a stern tone of voice an attack?
-
Where is the line between opinion and action drawn? Is it okay to attack people for driving cars? That's not an opinion, it's an action, and it kills people, but I have a feeling certain people would say no anyway
-
What is a double post? Do you mean repost or crosspost?
These are the guidelines that the human moderators are going to be using to make their judgements. They're not binding law. Is it really so important that you need to drill down to such tedious minutia? Just be good and if you do something wrong while acting in good faith, I'm sure they'll just tell you.
Meanwhile these people in criminal courtrooms:
“What does ‘murder’ mean? If I happen to own a knife and like to toss it, but someone moves in my way when the knife comes down, am I suddenly considered a murderer? Won’t some people abuse these rules?”
