Ok, but the main point is in the second sentence. I mean: the advice to not run down the kerb is something I say to my daughter, and i think it's fine. The problem is where this comes from, the government who is shaking off responsibility for road safety by blaming vulnerable victims instead of working on the cause of danger (spoiler: cars, speed, drivers)

Yes, because you accept that roads are dangerous because of cars.
But who is giving this warning? The same institution that allowed the roads to become unsafe in the first place, and should protect vulnerable users instead of blaming them. This makes it victim blaming.
Road is public space and it doesn't make sense that so much of it is unsafe for people not in a metal cage. Do you see which community we are in, by the way?
Almost like a horror movie
...Or a Mafia warning
So institutions can have email subscribtions to their account, in next mastodon release
Very interesting, but does this mean that there will be 2 kinds of accounts, a normal one, and an "institution" one that can take email subscribers?
Non saprei, ma l'effetto è comico
You clearly don’t know Germans. Yes they will.
and yet, illegal parking on sidewalk is common place in Munich. How is it? (honest question)
Mmmh you are right... I'll take a better pic next time!
This would be an extremely funny joke to do ti s friend's bike
Oh, on. The setting thing was what I understood from the discussion in the link, but I didn't go very deep
Ok, clear, thank you.
So this has been implemented as a Lemmy feature for more than one year, and it's default behavioiur ~~a setting for the particular community~~
This was epic.
Yesterday, World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, Fratelli d’Italia (far right party at government, the party of Giorgia Meloni), had organized for Sunday afternoon a protest in the car against the policies on the mobility of Rome mayor. in particular against the cycle paths that “proliferate, remove parking, reduce the roadways and create much more pollution”.
The idea was to leave with cars in procession. The procession, however, was never held: the cars ready to participate were too many:
300 cars in the motorcade would mean paralyzing the entire city
So in wanting to protest against the albeit timid mobility policies to improve mobility, those of FdI managed in one fell swoop to:
-
collect 300 cars, too many because they would "paralyze the city", so no procession
-
have little support: 300 cars carry very few people. The procession became a garrison, the few people were all in front of a bus
-
show how "the freedom to choose" the car is not a freedom, but arrogance: a minority using cars is enough to live no room for everyone else
-
"the collapsing mobility" they talk about is actually caused by cars, considering that just 300 cars can "paralyze the entire city"
-
a subway train (but also a modern tram) would bring more people than those at the demonstration, without causing collapses
And there was no need for any cross-examination, they did everything themselves.
I think this will go down in the annals.
