As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here.

Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here.

The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules:

  • Be Kind to each other
  • No Hate speech
  • Dont harass people
  • No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination
  • Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic)
  • Do not double post

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let's try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:

  • [meta] for discussions/suggestions about this community itself
  • [article] for news articles
  • [blog] for any blog-style content
  • [video] for video resources
  • [academic] for academic studies and sources
  • [discussion] for text post questions, rants, and/or discussions
  • [meme] for memes
  • [image] for any non-meme images
  • [misc] for anything that doesn't fall cleanly into any of the other categories

I have copied that idea from another community. I forgot which one so sorry!

Feel free to discuss that here, I would like that change because it makes it a lot easier

In the woman's first driving test, in July 2023, the assessor noted she breached the road rules multiple times including by continuously driving in a bike lane, failing to give way, braking to a near stop in a 70km/h zone and obstructing other vehicles and driving at 38km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

The decision noted the assessor had intervened when the woman started to turn in front of approaching vehicles without sufficient time or distance, and when she failed to give way as she moved off from a kerb.

She still thought she was hard done by and appealed?

In my town, there's a local gardening store. I often go there by car, but recently having gotten my first commuter bike several months ago, I decided to bike there. It's a longer ride, but no big deal; I had other stops, and I only needed seed packets. I got there as they opened, and I started looking for somewhere to lock my bike. There are several dozen parking spaces and plenty of storefront, but for the life of me, I couldn't find a bike rack. Turns out there was none, so I did the next-best thing and used an out-of-the-way cart return as a makeshift rack, ran inside feeling hurried and embarrassed, bought the seeds, and left.

Instead of giving up, I emailed them talking about my intention to commute by bike when possible, my history shopping with them, why I choose them over a nearer and more bike-accessible store, my experience that day, an argument for why not only I would appreciate it but why others probably would, and how small businesses can get long-lasting, off-the-shelf bike racks for fairly cheap. Not even 90 minutes passed before I got an email which CC'd the business' management team as follows:

Hi [name]

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to write to us with your suggestion.

We will seriously look in to the possibility of a bike rack.

And thank you for your business too. We appreciate it.

In the meantime, also feel free to lock your bike up against our long line of metal fencing located along our driveway [...] That should be reasonably secure as well.

Copying the [business name] manager team on this well [sic] to see what and where we can make this improvement.

I agree it's strictly possible that I'm being brushed off, but given bike racks can be bought off-the-shelf so cheaply, given there are neighborhoods very nearby, given they sell plenty of small goods that anyone with a bike could pick up, given they're a long-established business, and given they went so far as to CC the entire management team, I feel confident something might actually get done here. I hope this will not only let people who already want to bike there do so, but it might also give the idea to some people who don't yet.

I doubt she gained anything politically from delaying it in the first place. And if the Trump administration can genuinely stop this, they would have been better off implementing it as planned.

I get that they and all their up-voters might have valid reasons for needing a one. But at this point I'm not sure if they can even imagine buying anything other than a truck.

Wishing upon the stars that the oversized cars may still be oversized, but a tick smaller. And that last one just needs a Van.
