@andrew_s @JackGreenEarth And tags still help things spread further regardless of the federated service they start on.

@HiddenLayer555 @dessalines There isn't much lacking in the Japanese network.

@PowerCrazy @return2ozma I like where you are heading. Probably better to define being able to see a set of targets around the vehicle. Easier to define, harder to game.

I wouldn't ban cameras, but I would require the visibility be obtained without them. Cameras can give vision that is useful and implausible without them.

@InternetUser2012 still isn't yours till it's delivered

@InternetUser2012 @theacharnian and it's not 'someone's' it is a corporations, one with $44B to gift someone.

@EatATaco @Moonrise2473 teens do stupid shit without ebikes. And them using one doesn't increase the danger to non users by much.

Cars and trucks do.

@njordomir @Sanctus The safe money is it will also run too infrequently to be a good replacement. Adding 'time waiting for train' to the picture for trips outside of 6~9am or 3~7pm and officials wonder why services aren't well used.

@HexesofVexes @nehal3m Cycling commute times can be pretty compeditive in big cities, driving can have very bad worst case speeds where cycling is very stable.

The pictured example in Melbourne is 0:35 to 1:40 by car and 1:25 by bike. Yes the car will frequently win, but you can leave later to guarantee being in the office by 9. (TOA was set to 8:55am)

(The best and fastest is cycle to local station and catch the train)

@grue @thantik Federated service instances need active and aggresive moderation to keep trolls under control.

Monolithic services spend a lot of time and money on doing that.

@Anarch157a @BradleyUffner Yeah, it'd suck trying to walk to a friends house on the other side of the interchange.
