I trust the Dutch with this design, bikes are treated as priority with a lot of respect. Not the same in the US… and in this test, I especially wouldn’t trust college town kids and local drivers who asked for (and got) additional parking on the same street.
I’m going to assume positive intent and not the hostile tone “knock it off” reads like to me.
True… roundabouts took some time but are pretty prevalent now in my region and people have gotten used to them. I don’t think the US shouldn’t try things, just pointing out a difference in culture and attitude towards cars & bikes in the US compared to Dutch. I also don’t think a college town is the right place to test something like this, maybe I’m wrong and discounting younger drivers too heavily.
Oh wow, that’s scary. I’m semi-rural too, thankfully I don’t hear much about accidents or incidents in roundabouts at least locally. I’m curious about areas where there are pedestrians and bikes that cross roundabouts too… where I’m at they are farther away from walkable/bikeable territory so it’s really just cars using them.
But it's just not the same. There are no apps. The format is not reader-friendly. Usability is way low.
Hang in there, there’s an app Artemis coming in the next couple of weeks. I believe it’ll be a public beta so prob lots of QOL thinks to work out, but it’s coming.
Separately, I am personally perfectly OK if kbin is not like the Reddit experience in terms of community and content. I prefer it that way.
I notice on a lot of mags, there is one or two people posting, and either 0, a handful, or quite a bit of upvotes, but no one is really engaging, most the time there are 0 comments....
I have most of the Fediverse-based account and seem to have just gravitated towards Lemmy over Kbin as found it very confusing, What makes you prefer Kbin over Lemmy or any other Fediverse instances?
But also: I have accounts on kbin, Lemmy and mastadon, my favorite part is switching when I need a different flavor of hot/active, or something’s going on with another server.
I’m genuinely confused… I scrolled through MikeOxlong’s comments and I can’t figure out what point they’re trying to make. They keep talking about “opposing thoughts” getting shunned but I can’t find any actual thoughts or points of view they’ve presented about the article OP posted.
It’s hard to read anything about this guy and not think immediately… Fuck this dude. I know there are tens of thousands of employees behind him but still I just can’t help it.
What we all know is these types of bigots are on the outs. Shame the fuck out of them, they don’t do anything positive for your communities. They are wildly thrashing (with seemingly powerful national voices). They will never completely go away but they are reacting to a change in the norms that’s been coming for decades.
I’m probably being over idealistic. I like summaries and I look for those myself! It’s frustrating when there’s a post but the OP doesn’t provide any point of view. But I also see a lot of comments on kbin/lemmy/fedi that either ignore the summary or don’t bother to check out the context. I’m really interested in what people think I guess.
Not that people like this guy would ever actually hear this, but I love this bit from the article
Despite the stereotype that trans and nonbinary people don’t know what gender they are, they usually have put more thought into their gender identities than cisgender people have and have explored that aspect of themselves to a greater degree. Many transgender people know they are men or women with as much or even more certainty than many cisgender people, and nonbinary people don’t have the problem of knowing “if” they’re men or women because they can be just as certain that they are neither.
