Coming from Reddit, there were multiple car-related subs and they all saw some fairly heavy traffic with lots of posts and comments. Heck, even some of the model-specific ones seem to get more interaction than this sub does. What’s the deal?

    It’s worse if you wrench or make cars like me. Not a deep complaint, I know why younger people jack metal less often (money, PERSISTENT SPACE, access to skills, complexity of modern cars etc) but result is, little construction and fabrication.

    Sadly most of what still goes on is in boomer bigot forums, one of which id been a contributor to for 20 years, have a fuckton of docs manuals how tos parts lists etc, basically froze me out when I put on all my websites “black lives matter as much as anyone’s” and “racism is white people’s responsibility”.

    Lol, I’m an out gay man and that does not exactly make me popular but I survived based on being an old timer there but the BLM thing was the final straw.

    Oh man sort I ranted at y’all, won’t do that again, but it’s nice to tell someone!

    Here’s my main site since I was talking about it:

      I respect your opinion but I disagree with your statement “racism is white peoples responsibility”.

      I’m telling you this because I hope it’ll show others that we can have different opinions and still respect each other. That’s what reddit was missing.

        Thank you. (and by that phrase I mean responsible for dealing with the mess we have now; and specifically not guilty for creating it im the first place. And because were talking about only slogans, handwaving how racism unfolds today.)
