Not Just Bikes

1403 readers

An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.

NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.

#RULES

1. Be nice. Please.

I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.

2. No memes

No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.

POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.

3. Stay on topic

Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..

4. No Trolling

Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.

5. No comment screenshots

Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.

6. No vehicular cycling

I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.

7. No people being hit by cars/road violence

Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.

8. No tone policing

We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.

9. No internet drama

Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

Any tl;dw, yt link, or a summary (which city at least)? I like NJB, but I don’t want to register to a random site for this.

EDIT: It’s there.

In 1974, the first metro line was opened in Seoul, South Korea. Dozens of lines were built over the past few decades and today it's so advanced and comprehensive that it might just be the world's best metro system.

The video will be on YouTube later. I think NJB puts his videos up one week after the Nebula version?

fwiw though Nebula is not "a random site". It's the creator-owned platform that NJB and a bunch of other YouTube channels are on that helps give them a more reliable income source than the fickle YouTube algorithm, while being far more affordable and practical for the end user than supporting dozens of different individual people on Patreon.

Didn’t know this about Nebula; will check it out, thanks for the info!

I'd also recommend it. There's a lot of great, high quality content from well-known creators with no ads and occasional other perks like early NJB videos.

Wendover did a good video (yt) on the Nebula model and background (Sam's also the Chief Content Officer).

I subscribed on a $30 first year promo. Happy with it for the price. NJB, Climate Town, City Nerd, and a few other creators I was following before are on there, plus I've discovered some new content that's pretty good. Plus it's a little less YouTube/Google in my life.

I've been on it. It's awesome
