Yea man, car bad, bike good. I get it. It’s a no brainer for a thousand reasons. My comment tone was off, for sure.

Yeah, sorry for that sounding anti bike, I had just cracked into an afterwork drink and was a bit jolly.(The lycra comment was unnecessary blanket statement based on the locals in my experience)

I would be 100% cycler if I lived in a place of fully supplied infrastructure. So your point on safety being a barrier is true. I grew up on BMX and MTX in the desert so while bikes have been a major part of my upbringing I never really had to contend with roads.

Generally I just feel we all lose. Bikers don’t feel safe and car drivers have an extra obstacle.

The real truth is I don’t know why I ended up in this thread. I haven’t got any stakes and just got lost.

But you guys keep doin the work, carcentric infrastructure is really annoying.

Is there a place that belongs to drivers who realize all this, yet still get pissed off at bikes, but like, indirectly because their also angry that there isn’t infrastructure in place that gets bikes the fuck out of my way?

I respect the grind, y’all, but you’re right, I’m absolutely not gonna get in your stupid shoes and lycra just to experience the “pain” myself. I know it’s dumb, but the “shared” roads piss me off too. I’ll vote on somethin if you show me where.

Ha, yeh. You’re certainly right

Yeah, that was my reply to the mods. I had only mentioned an outside entity, no different than the countless twitter, linkedin, gmedd, and drsgme.org posts or comments that encourage outside conversation of GME. The rules ‘as stated’ only apply to other subreddits.

Will post an update when I get a response

Thing is, I didn’t break the rule. it explicitly states other subs. Lemmy is not Reddit, there is no brigading or mention of another subreddit in my comment.

Would there be a difference between my comment, and perhaps, a comment about a Twitter thread or hashtag? hmm…

We’ve got to keep these conversations in as many places as possible. I’m a bit contrarian to the thought that moving GME chat to new spaces is a bad thing or “fracturing”

These are topics that need to be in as many places as possible! Those in power LOVE the fact that we all gather in one dark corner.

We need those fuckers running around like the little Dutch Boy trying to shut down convos in more places than they can manage.

Thanks for the instance! If you know of any other instances or communities relating to DRS or GME, large or small, please share.

Maybe even index all known communities in the sticky and we can really find each other.

I came to Lemmy originally for

GMECanada

which I found on r/gmejungle

Absolutely, if there is any sort of centralisation in any way, it can be corrupted. Corporations will always chase the money or avoid funding being pulled. We have seen time and time again the price can always be met. Someone is always willing to bend against the greater good.

The only way forward is decentralised. Full, non-negotiable ownership of our assets, our communication, and our rights.

And of course, our GME shares :)

I’m using Jerboa, no real access to desktop at the moment.

This test post worked. A longer post, multiple paragraph, would not post over multiple attempts.

I also seem unable to delete this test post. Will make an attempt on desktop when I have an opportunity. It may be a simple malfunction of the app.

Hello from the UK

Found you all in the jungle. Hope we can get this place to grow in numbers and activity!
