[meta] How do people feel about all the death posts? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I feel like I've seen an uptick in articles posted here that are covering cyclists or pedestrians getting killed in car crashes. I understand that this community is centered around our hatred for cars but seeing a constant feed of deaths by cars isn't really what I want. I would prefer memes, discussions on how to improve things, and articles about policy etc instead of an endless stream of daily deaths.

How do you feel about these posts?

EXACTLY!

Show the good and the bad. People have known about the problem of car-centric infrastructure for decades ....and....despite people being shown the good and bad stories about car-centric infrastructure for all thise years there has been no substantial action to change this infrastructure....

So at this poont we can confirm that most people dont sctually car about the problem of car-centric infrastructure so we had might as well show everything related to car-centric infrastructure - the whole truth and nothing but the truth. YES the positive changes and YES sad deaths/accidents. Why run away from the whole truth ? Why only tell half truths when the whole truth is staring at you im the face and killing people like you every day?
