This is why there are different communities. This discussion was had a lot over at the other place, "fuck cars" is not exactly intended as the first contact people have with the thought that 'maybe car centric infrastructure isn't so great?'.

But it does seem to be the most popular, so it tends to be what most people will see first as far as I can tell.

It is what it is. I was just pointing out that no amount of telling people what is obvious to long timers is going to stop more outsiders from having the same reaction, so hopefully the community won't run out of patience for it.

On lemmy, is there some other place which is better suited for those people? (other than the German !oeffentlicherverkehr@feddit.de)
