i am confused what OP wants to happen, i would probably say this is a change for the better that i would not mind for the sake of privacy?

just like subscribe to some ppl or something like,

ppl just choose not to be responsible

you should look into some common causes of car accident, which include:

• rain
• night driving
• design defects
• ice
• snow
• tire blowouts
• fog full list

cars are safer than theyve ever been

no (nbcnews article)

overall, my position is the same as yours: the average driver is WILDLY unfit to operate a multiton chunk of metal on a daily basis.

however, it is wildy unrealistic to hope against hope that one day, every driving person will wake up and realize that they should drive safe. there has to be systemic effort, whether thats reduction in cars, increase in mandatory car training or increased access to public transport, in order to see systemic improvement.

while you are factually correct that the human is a part of the chain of blame, it is systemically inefficient to blame the driver

in order to make systemic change and make cars safer, we CANNOT say “oh lol drivers fault, get good.” expecting that order of change from hoards of people is unrealistic.

however if i blame unsafely sized cars, fast, wide unsafe roads, a failure of US public transport—these are also realistic points of systemic change that i can point to.

tldr cars are unsafe, cars need to get safer, no amount of blaming the driver will solve things

the car absolutely kills people. that same big mac licking driver on a bike or bus or scooter causes 0 deaths. it’s the cars

what you are saying is true if you entirely ignore the power of a majority market share and the demand that puts on small developers.

even if it’s not universal demand, all you need is a slight majority.

see what happened, for example, with xmpp: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

no, defederation does not “just” do those things

defederation refuses to give them an in to slowly make changes to the platform that will eventually give way to a centralized power dynamic over the whole fediverse

we love underdogs with poor human rights records and sentence protesters to death for not moving out of their homes <3 the crown prince of saudi arabia is so oppressed

honestly we should have collectively realized way earlier that putting all the useful, readable, un-touched-by-SEO help content for basically every niche hobby fandom and ideology in the hands of one for-profit entity was not very wisdom-pilled of us
