    Mastodon appeals to a very specific demographic. It is not representative of larger populations.

    source: I’m one of them.

    It’s been an actual movement atleast on the Internet and in cities. I don’t see it much in the wilds of Suburbia but I’ve managed to get most of my close friends into it or atleast aware of it/sympathetic. It spread best if you actively choose to spreads it so please do

      The anti-car movement isn’t just about environmental/‘green’ issues. That’s a significant part, but far from the whole purpose. It has profound impacts on general health of a community, quality of life, cost of living, preventable deaths, economic productivity and more beyond green issues (including various pollutions, wildlife death and unnecessary production).

      Dismissing anti-car sentiment because ‘what about this other problem’ is silly: both are important, and they are not mutually exclusive!

          that (everything being too far to not drive) is the exact reason why probably everyone else in this community drives a car, and walkable infrastructure is the main thing it promotes. no one here is saying we should stop making cars and change nothing, instead that we should change things so that cars aren’t necessary anymore

            This might shock you, but I havent driven a car in years. In European cities thats no problem at all.
