  • Yeah, I mean this is pretty obvious stuff. For anyone that didn’t read the article:

    • People make choices based on what they perceive as efficient
    • Sometimes you have to educate them about better options than driving
    • Not all transit is good transit

    Now one thing that wasn’t really addressed, but which should have been, is on-board experience of transit. Qualify of life issues seems silly to a lot of people to spend effort policing, but they matter. Guys on the subway smoking, playing music, smelling awful, etc. Even things as basic as people not taking their backpacks off leading to jostling and crowding. This all matters.










  • Some specific examples within lemmy.world that prompted this would be helpful (not a request for you specifically, a general request).

    A big problem on reddit is debate-oriented communities aggressively stifling debate and banning people for opinions well within the outside-the-internet window of acceptable discourse. So I can see why lemmy.world would not want to go further down that route if it appeared as if it were beginning to happen. Reddit can semi-tolerate it because there enough users to form niche communities if the big ones are terrible. Lemmy has nowhere near enough people.

    Unfortunately t can’t all be (1) or (2) because both extremes are terrible.
