I prefer to have my own community, I already have my own vision/preference on what I want the community would be like

I've said this before:

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.

(As a context, in Skyscrapercity is a discussion forum about infrastructures in the world, underrated website)

Public transports are not limited to trams, trolleys, and street cars. It also includes trains, high-speed rail buses, etc. And my vision for this community is that I want the community to be discussion-oriented. For example, the accessibility of a public transport, the obstacles of building one, the ticket price, the effect it has on the city, integrations between modes, etc. Take a look at https://reddit.com/r/transit for example.

To be clear, I'm not saying that !trams_trolleys_streetcars@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a bad community, it just has difference purpose, as far as I can understand. I'll probably try to crosspost some of the post there.

Also, I'm still not sure what type of posts succeed the most. Whether it's discussion/question posts, photos, or posting links from other websites

I also try to engage in the comment section after posting

I'm thinking of adding "Question of the Week" type of thread to !publictransport@slrpnk.net

You keep dismissing said person as a troll, yet I feel like they have a point

I know you're not the same moderator they were talking about, but I just want to make you aware of this: https://ponder.cat/comment/1193264

I use solarpunk and disappointed that it happened to you. I felt like solarpunk was the best instance Lemmy has, it feels like it has the least amount of echo chamber. Maybe I'm wrong.

I moderate my own community in solarpunk and I will try my best to not be like the moderator you talk about

Just found a really good video covering the example of what’s stopping USA to build transit projects (specifically in LA). He invited an expert suited for this topic and the points are coherent.

  • US has been building highways too much, they forgot how to build proper transit
  • Environmental issues being weaponized against building transits (while highways keeps getting built)
  • Similarly “citizen voice” has also been weaponized, for example Ticket Master CEO try to stop subway project so that it doesn’t tunnel below his Bel Air neighborhood even though the tunnel dug very deep below surface that it won’t affect on top

Highly recommend watching this video.

The article links this: https://www.oliverwymanforum.com/mobility/urban-mobility-readiness-index.html

This year’s index has a new Technology Adoption sub-index, which assesses how prepared a city is to embrace technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles (AVs), and air taxis.

Looks like the study isn't really about public transport. I was surprised that San Fransisco got to the first place too. But, skimming through the article it looks like the study focuses on "technology adoption". San Francisco got the first place simply because it added robotaxi. NGL, that's dumb.

It's not that good of a study IMO

what's with billionaires trying to make cautionary tales real (Metaverse, etc)

also, to quote some user from Hacker News:

His company, like 9 out of 10 YC companies, is destined to fail. That is all the poetic justice you'll ever need.
