@Blaze@feddit.org falling asleep with a smile on their face tonight :)

Great info, nice to meet you too.

Or maybe everybody should breathe through their pants, calm down a bit, share the road, that kinda stuff.

!bicycles@lemmy.ca
!bicycling@lemmy.world
!casual_cycle_uk@feddit.uk

I know. But not everybody seems to share your enthusiasm for locking the communities on world.

Looking at your examples:

The movie ones: To me the world one looks like the way healthier community, a lot more different users posting stuff, on lemm.ee it’s mostly some power users creating all the content, actually really only moderators of that community. I find you talking about how it is the more active community a bit dishonest tbh. Same i found with the dataisbeautiful one. I have a feeling you care more about computers (fedi infra) than the topics.

The gaming one somebody else told you their opinion on it, and why it is a good community.

The android ones… i don’t really have an opinion on it. IIRC at first they were all on the world (or.ml?) one and then created the lemdro.id instance. What about the .ml one by the way? Why is it only ever a problem when world has a community that exists elsewhere?

Generally i don’t think having multiple active c’s is all that problematic, at least they are active.

From your message, I feel like people on LW want to keep communities on “LW instances”, I’m wondering why.

Because these communities are already there and are active, that’s why. Not everybody has to share your enthusiasm for removing communities from lemmy.world.

Generally i agree, is far from good. Where is it good though other than the Netherlands and a few select cities?

Bleak, bleaker, the bleakest.

It certainly seems to me like the majority of people (in cities) welcomes less cars and more pedestrian / bicycle infrastructure. At least if the removal of street parking happens NIMBY. Certainly cities are pushing for this, throughout all the parties, maybe not the afd and the fdp when they tried to scratch 5% of voters from the bottom of the barrel in the east with their “more cars into the cities, less pedestrians and cyclists”. Even the adac (huge german car interest group) thought this was a stupid idea.

The news and readers comments in local newspaper were way more cycle infra critical some years ago. I think german cities are moving in the right direction, it is getting better, although slowly, i don’t share your pessimism.

Ah ok. I would kinda be surprised if that hasn’t been discussed, this should be relevant for a lot of communities. Just checked for example #desire_paths has 0 posts on mastodon, they’re all being posted without underscore. Or !bicycles@lemmy.ca would probably be better categorized under a #bicycle" or “bicycling” hashtag.

Maybe someone here with a github account thinks this is a good idea and will create an issue there. If not i may look into it when i am done with my holidays.

Right? No, i didn’t, i am not on github.

Yeah, like what the introduction of hashtags for lemmy posts aims for.

Not sure i get what you’re saying. Lemmy now adds a hashtag for better mastodon interoperability that is pulled from the url of the community. I was simply proposing that it would be nice if this hashtag could be customized if it would make sense to do so, as an option.

I use womens deodorant, not fruity ones but “fresh” ones i guess. Can’t stand mens deodorant, reminds me of locker room stank.

Broken collar bone, the classic.

Sorry if i came off rude, i am just so over people claiming that every kind of cycling is dangerous and all that can save you is a helmet.

I mentioned in another comment that there is a dutch study that finds the helmeted rider to be more than 25 times more likely to end up in a hospital. 25 times more likely. Obviously roadies and MTBers. I am absolutely not saying people should stop road or mountain biking, even that is not all that dangerous and practitioners don’t all end up dead or crippled sooner or later.

But if a person is just casually cycling without a helmet, they are doing much more for their safety than those sporty riders with helmets. Somehow this then always gets countered with “i know someone who fell on his head while stationary and is now being spoonfed by his loved ones. No, he didn’t have clips / clipless pedals”. Made up bullshit in 99.9% of cases, i have seen this in almost every helmet topic i have read.

Wear a helmet for whatever activity that you’d like one for, just don’t call people stupid and silly if they have different experiences and conclusions.

There is also this interesting dutch study, where somehow helmeted cyclists were 25 times more likely to end up in a hospital. Of course the reason for that never comes up as something problematic from the side of our solely safety concerned citizens, they will congratulate you for your new speed record down that hill.

And your friends don’t get annoyed?

I hope you also posted one of those wonderful “today the helmet saved my life” topics on reddit so the community could get together for their daily service.

I also don’t wear a helmet when i walk down the stairs of my appartment. Is that stupid and silly too, or for some reason just fine? I don’t think riding a bicycle, which you learn at three years old, is necessarily a dangerous activity.

the religiosity with which people proselytize helmets is misplaced.

It feels very much religion like, but also an online phenomenon only. IRL the helmet discussion goes like this for me: “You don’t wear a helmet?” “No.”

The topic coming up is super rare too, while on every picture of a cyclist without a helmet on the internet you got all these comments from helmet fundamentalists going nuts over it.
