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.

It's a great video. It's the one that gets most people. The absolute insanely dangerously bad design of strodes is something you can't unsee. They are everywhere and you're constantly reminded of it everytime you go outside.
It hits with "pro car" people because it is also a design that is as frustrating to them as it is to people trying to walk or bike.
It's my go to video for normies to understand why people hate cars.
Once you see how bad parking lots alone are it's pretty hard to unsee it. I hear all the time from people "but we have a lot of space", which is just crazy to hear. We constantly pave over anything that gets in our way to make another parking lot. Then the lots get so big that going to literally the next store over means it's easier to drive than walk, which then leads to even larger parking lots.
Then it's just everywhere in all conversations. If we're building a new neighborhood how much parking will there be? New bike lane? What about parking. New walkable community? Parking?
And then you see the asinine things we've built. Malls are just mimicing a true walkable community because we have killed them, and then surrounded them in islands of massive parking lots. Malls literally just solve a problem that the parking itself created.
It's.. just so fucking stupid, and now I get mad whenever I see a stupid parking lot.
