micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The Netherlands here - even with protected car lanes, e-scooters are forbidden on the roads. Previous experiences from other cities like París seem to reinforce the government’s position.
Edit: Maybe the argument would be better served by separating these two issues: With the increase in bike transit, especially as a partial remedy for ecological purposes, they deserve to have their own lanes (and legal priority in transit - something we have here) at the expense of more-polluting vehicles. Separately, e-scooters can travel in those separate lanes, but they require helmets at least (though this opens the door to having ebike users wear helmets, which isn’t a bad idea).
