Which bit was bigoted? Reality?

Most of it is contained to specific forums, there’s just more than one across a few instances, RedditMigration on Kbin is another.

The more time I spend here the more I’m realising blocking communities/magazines is as much a key to a good experience as subscribing to them, of not more.

It’ll all die down anyway, to a degree there’s just a lot of people here who just arrived from reddit. I’d avoid blocking the word itself as the wave will pass plus it’s being used as a comparison in meta threads about features and UI and you might find you want to see those conversations.

I assume they moved there after the first model t rolled off the production line. Over 80% of the world don’t have a car, there is significant overlap with rural people in that.

As I have already said, improve infrastructure, improve public transport, get off your lazy arse and walk more then 5 seconds from your front door.

You don’t say you’re American but it’s so obvious you are, being incapable of functioning without a car isn’t normal it’s kind of pathetic

Yes, those are the two sole options, cars and genocide. Fucking idiot. Have you heard of a bus?

No country in the EU is a totalitarian dictatorship either we’ve worked out busses and footpaths, it’s not hard, your cities and counties still have planning offices, public servants decide these things. It makes little difference to the cost or scope of projects to design things so people can use them.

I think you’re grossly underestimating how expensive dragging your heels on climate is going to be for everyone. Changing infrastructure now is cheap in comparison. Your economy is going to be fucked by climate change regardless of what china does, there is no prisoners dilemma.

Yes, build the damn infrastructure, now. It’s not about perfect it’s about working toward a minimum viable output and electric cars miss that mark.

It’s not enough. Cutting transport emissions by two thirds is simply not enough. We can change planning now to make it hurt slightly less when we have to get rid of cars or we can continue the current path and leave a load of people stranded when the rug gets pulled, which do you think sounds better?

This is the most straightforward

I don’t know what OP used but I used Power Delete Suite

I never said we need to be perfect, you’re dismissing the argument to save your feelings.

I said we need to drive less. It’s not hard, it’s not perfect, and it’s the centre of most European planning efforts to mitigate climate change.

Electric cars are and industry solution to an industry problem, they’re not a reasonable response to climate change

Yes, we’re seeing the same chart. Now add a bicycle, or replace 60 stupid little Tesla’s with a bus.

We are not at a point where electric car ownership is a viable solution, we’re at least 20 years too late. Even the manufacturing cost us too great.

I don’t think they want that, they have a month before they have to come back with something or you can escalate it to a supervising body. Imagine getting taken to court because redditors flooded your GDPR response process

It’s not great is it? Reasonably we just need less vehicles

New response just dropped

I’m willing to bet that they don’t actually know when a sub went private, just whether or not it currently is. I also would not be surprised if the emails are automated but going out in batches to spread the workload dealing with replies.

Because Reddit got a reputation for being lenient on people who are toxic. I gave up on general, current affairs or regional subs a long time ago it’s only smaller communities I’m leaving now.

Think of r/incels or r/The_Donald, r/GenderCritical, r/NoNewNormal etc - and they’re the examples from recent, more generally appealing years after the subs named after slurs were nuked. These are the subreddits that got mainstream attention, they may no longer be on Reddit, but their members are, and anyone who would be drawn to them is still signing up, on the other hand lots of people have been turned off the site by those associations. It’s not just that there’s lots of people joining the site, it’s who those people are.

In the same vein it’s a really easy site to astroturf and there’s no doubt in my mind that the “culture wars” are being stoked there because of it. Because there’s a market for aged accounts for use in political astroturfing or general product shilling there are companies running the same shitty repost bots everywhere to produce them. It’s a cycle that seems to be getting shorter and shorter.
