Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

All cities are fucking car dependent. May as well just say "flying into a city".
Tokyo, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, New York?
They all have over 50% non-car mode share. Wouldn't call those dependent on cars.
Many cities are not car dependent. Even in the US there's some where you can get around entirely without a car.
Yeah right. Thanos snap cars from a city and everything is perfect?
nobody said that? its about supporting other modes of transit not banning cars. banning cars is not helpful if i still have to deal with several acres of parking lots and 8 lane stroads between every location.
?
I've been to quite a few cities here in Europe that aren't car dependent.
That's sounds just as pretentious as this post does. I've been to plenty of cities that are more or less dependent on cars for commuting, that's it.
This cultish attitude feels greasy and unhelpful though. Zespecially from ze Europeans whov are perfect!
???
What are you even trying to communicate?
That you suck and fuckcars sucks hahahahaha
I could waste my time more typing it all out but it would just bounce off the dinner plates you have instead of a skull.
You're a silly goober aren't ya?
I'm not European, I'm a British cunt
Indeed.
