Reply to comment by Grass8989 in New changes to 8th Ave create much wider pedestrian space, organize and calm a formerly chaotic place by Miser

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

Such as?

Such as what? Anything criticizing bikers is immediately destroyed by down votes

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."

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"

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?

Maybe a micromobility megathread is due then! Could have all of these discussions in centralized thread instead of all over the place.

Yeah, gotta clear some space for more useless posts about politics and crime

Don’t forget the artwork! And crime has had a megathread now for the past few weeks so no need to worry about that!
