Sorting the posts on this community by “top of all time” you see it’s mostly memes. Is there a community like this where people actually discuss solutions to these problems and encourage activism? Otherwise this community is more of a way to distract potential activists with emotional venting.
There’s value to both, but I understand the frustration. A big part of building a world without cars is developing an anti-car culture though, and memes are very effective at that.
This question came up often in the old /r/fuckcars and the response there was typically that discussion of solutions and activism made more sense in other communities like NotJustBikes and WalkableCities. I don’t know if those have corresponding federated communities yet though.
There is a fledgling Not Just Bikes community. I would post a link but i dont know how in Jerboa.
Definitely need more content and engagement.
!notjustbikes@lemmy.ml or https://lemmy.ml/c/notjustbikes
Are you able to provide a link now? Or at least mention which instance it’s on?
Thanks for plugging those other communities.
The sidebar mentions one of the community goals is to discuss car alternatives. I do see some posts like this after scrolling more. Maybe I just need to spend more time here to calibrate. Anyway, I hope that I get to see more posts in the future that discuss alternatives and opportunities for activism!
