What about the obsessive hatred of cars and Windows?
THAT I actually enjoy
Not entirely correct.
It's obsessive hatred of car dependency. It's not that surprisingly many of us hate cars, it's that surprisingly many of us hate that you necessarily need a car to do anything outside of the house.
Nooo, I ended up having to filter the fuckcars community because they were angry at ANYBODY that uses a car for any reason - like top voted comments and posts. I saw somebody get jumped by multiple responders for bringing up how there are small towns and people that live hours away from large cities that would still need cars for transportation
Like, I'm as much for improving public transit and reducing the amount of cars on the road in every instance where it's viable. I specifically moved within 10 miles of my job so I could start riding my bike to work instead of driving my hybrid car. It's not that I'm pro car, I'm just anti-extremist
I've gotten into it with a couple of guys for needing a truck. I'm a construction electrician. That means that in addition to lugging my tools around, I have to transport rather large and heavy pieces of equipment/gear on occasion. I'd happily rock a van, but it's hell trying to find a 4x4 van (snow) at a reasonable price due to the van life crowd. I've had guys say use public transport or car share, like dude, I work 6 days a week, that isn't viable. It's a completely one sided conversation with them.

Its not neccesarily obsessive, its just those happened to be communiies commoted tonleaving the other site, ao it visually appears to be the mainstream thought.
Linux is one of the larger communties who made the jump (in general tech people are more prone to caring about privacy and control, as tech communities in general are some of the largest here on lemmy)
Heck one of the largest communities is piracy discussion.
linux users are of course the first to move to something like this, and the /r/fuckcars community is as well now a bit. also let's be honest, fuck cars. and fuck windows.

I'm fine with USA politics, because they got their hands up in everyone's asses so it affects everyone.
What bothers me more is American football. Nobody except them even plays this game but it's all over the news every time there's a major event. Same for baseball.
You're seeing NFL on lemmy? I don't see it at all and wish I did. Where can I find it

I can't wait for Lemmy to get big enough that I can unsub from all the big Lemmies. On Reddit I had a bunch of niche communities that were pretty nice and not political. Now all those spammers I avoided have come here too and the Lemmies aren't big enough to avoid them yet.
The annoying thing is these people never see themselves as the insufferable bores always taking about local politics.
It's always really important.
It's always that you're a nazi if you don't agree.
It's just modern born-again Christians, who aren't knocking on your door, they're posting in your social Media.

Americans are really annoying. They ruin the internet with their ability to turn ANYTHING and EVERYTHING into American politics. Even if it's about a cat on the opposite side of the world.
My favourite is posting a comment and having someone say "you voted for Biden, didn't you?". Nah, bro, I stepped foot in your country once and was mugged at gun point. I will never be back, let alone a fucking citizen of that shit hole.

This is interesting because, while I make a point of making and engaging with apolitical content, I am a lesbian.

Image 1 should just have a full frame impact font reading 'linux'. Neither are ideal.
