It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Seems like another bandaid solution that doesn't fix the actual infrastructure problem. Get ready for the day in court where a victim is asked what they were doing on public roads with a non C-V2X bicycle ๐Ÿ™„

We'll do anything to avoid admitting that maybe our land use/ urban design philosophy is flawed and leads to dangerous streets and roads. I've been on and off about putting a tile or an airtag on my bike simply because no one else needs to have my location data, especially if they're allowed to sell it. Would hate to see it mandated. Its bad enough that I'm not really able to leave home without my phone nowadays.
