What’s the point of having a micromobilityNYC sub when everything just gets reposted here?
Miser OP t1_ivv7nfm wrote
I'll answer this genuinely. In the sub, we have many more posts, and great discussion, on a huge range of topics, and lots of them are little things only people genuinely interested in r/MicromobilityNYC topics would care about. Lots of things only sort of related to NYC, like design practices and news from other global cities on how they are implementing bike lanes and other bike infrastructure, and general urbanist things as well. Lots of these are of interest to the people genuinely fascinated with this stuff and never get reposted here, but then there is some stuff that is uniquely NYC related news and of general interest that an average, non bike or urbanist type person would still want to see. (Which is unarguably true, given how well these posts here in r/nyc too.)
This gives a lot of people what they want. People with a greater interest in how the city is evolving can join micromobilityNYC, people who aren't aware there are communities for this stuff and would be interested can get exposed to it occasionally, and people with only a passing interest can get the highlights of NYC centric stuff here.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

You guys are extremely biased and down vote anything that opposes your view even if it's a factual objection
Miser OP t1_ivvkicz wrote
Such as?
koreamax t1_ivvkrd7 wrote
Such as what? Anything criticizing bikers is immediately destroyed by down votes
Miser OP t1_ivvlyhw wrote
I mean yeah, there are 1.6 million people that ride micromobility here in the city, over a million that ride it regularly. Would you say something like "every time I attack pedestrians I'm downvoted, it's so unfair."
We already have to put up with enough bs and are not interested in hearing your petty little complaints about how your neighborhood lost 3 parking spots out of thousands to make a bike lane or whatever. I assume that's what your complaint is since you've actually provided no "factual statements."

Lol here we go..
billiam632 t1_ivvpomf wrote
Don't say here we go if you aren't going to even offer up any valid criticism other than "you won't let me criticize you loudly"
koreamax t1_ivvpypp wrote
So, hey. I don't mean to sound rude but you're making this the epitome of a comment section is micro mobility. A reason I criticized it initially and didn't buy the inclusiveness in the previous comment

I mean.....you're entering into a biker's discussion to criticize bikers. What did you expect them to do?

Fair point

Maybe a micromobility megathread is due then! Could have all of these discussions in centralized thread instead of all over the place.
GentleShiv t1_ivvipld wrote
Yeah, gotta clear some space for more useless posts about politics and crime
Grass8989 t1_ivvljtq wrote
Don’t forget the artwork! And crime has had a megathread now for the past few weeks so no need to worry about that!

God forbid the design of the city gets discussed in a sub about the city. The horror.

Because public space is important and effects everyone?
I’ve used scooters precisely zero times in New York but I still like seeinkore options.

Easy karma farming from the self-styled "urbanists" of r/nyc. Despite the fact that Miser is a hypocrite--constantly railing against car owners despite being one themselves.
weezy22 t1_ivvgdbw wrote
I own a car and am also for better bike lanes and ped areas. It's not a black and white issue.
unndunn t1_ivvjynu wrote
That isn't their position. Their position is that all car drivers in NYC are stupid, ignorant pricks and everything would be so much better if they ditched their cars and started biking everywhere. But not Miser though; it's okay for them to keep their car because they need it for... reasons. As if the people they routinely criticize don't have reasons of their own.
Miser OP t1_ivvjn3y wrote
Yeah that's why we want to improve the city's walking and cycling. For that sweet reddit karma. You got us.
Hey, what does it tell you that these ideas are such a reliable "karma farm?" Why is it I never see you out there making content for reddit about how we should rip up bike lanes and sidewalks for more car lanes? I hear a lot of complaining from you and a handful of others about how we want to improve the city but we literally never hear your vision. What is it, cars from one building's wall to the other?
BasedAlliance935 t1_ivw4k69 wrote
Quick question, what rule did i break that got me perma-banned off the sub?
unndunn t1_ivvml2c wrote
lol, you don’t propose any ideas either. You just bitch and moan using sanctimonious language to criticize car owners for holding back what you deem as progress. Much like all the other “urbanists” whose only idea is “cars = bad”. And the rest of r/NYC laps it up because it’s easy to criticize a class you don’t belong to.
billiam632 t1_ivvpxbi wrote
I am in the car owning class and I can say micromobility is fantastic. Cities should be designed for pedestrians and suburbs for cars.
Also I see plenty of ideas being proposed in the micromobility sub
unndunn t1_ivvw17w wrote
There’s always a half-dozen people who pop up to say “I own a car and I think bikes are great”, as if that somehow refutes anything. Newsflash: I own a car and I want better bike infrastructure as well.
The difference is I don’t look at cars and their owners like they’re some kind of diseased lepers who must be vilified and bled dry, if not exterminated altogether.

Someone asked about why this sub gets spammed with micromobilitynyc shit all the time. I responded. Of course, you people can’t handle getting called out. 😂

Ok, you’ve said “coping” like half a dozen times in this thread. Do you actually have anything substantive to say, or should I just block you right now and move on with my life?

Yeah drivers are coping, that’s not really debatable lmao man you’re dumb huh

I own a car and also support a more pedestrian and bike friendly city. I even support making it more difficult to own a car and support a tax on car owners even if it harms my own self interest.
It’s almost like you have have multiple views at once.
arsbar t1_ivvwpom wrote
A tax on cars might not even hurt your own self-interest if you’re willing to pay a bit for less traffic (classic example of a pigouvian tax).
