Every time I see one of these "find a specific thing" apps I'm surprised as to how someone could put all that effort in to creating an app (although I guess these days it isn't that much) just to replicate a fraction of what overpass turbo can do. It would be great to see an OSM querier like overpass that's super easy to use.
The reform base will never be satisfied, they're already moving on from reform because it's not cruel enough. Those weirdos should be ostracised and ignored. The larger constituency that's actually worth representing is those that rightfully want change but have chosen to support reform because they're the only ones offering a solution to the decline in living standards, and the way to address that is to offer real solutions and actually make people's lives better.
A regularly scheduled event is imo the best solution. Just have something on one night per month, everyone knows when it is, if they can't make it no big deal there's always next month. No need to continuously be organising something new.
I read another comment somewhere that pointed out that all of the other things they sponsor are much more relevant to them, e.g OS and hardware projects and events. It's weird that there's just the one that's focused on web development and it's the one run by DHH.
They could've instead free up a lot of space at the existing airports by finally building that high speed rail line between Melbourne and Sydney that they've been talking about for 30 years.
Again, it doesn't have to be more difficult, if most people don't own a car there will be a lot more demand for public transport, and the services can be expanded to accommodate this much more easily. I can go hiking and usually not worry about getting home because the trains are hourly at the worst and connections are easy. It's only more difficult because we've built a world around making things as convenient as possible for cars.
Flat terrain makes it much easier to build fast rail. If there's another city on the way you could have a high speed rail connection, or a sleeper train.
I live in Switzerland, and I go hiking almost every weekend without using a car. There's plenty of places to do so accessable by public transport, and still the vast majority of journeys here are done by car. If even a quarter of those car journeys were instead taken by public transport, that would mean a doubling of public transport usage and justify huge expansions. That's with Switzerland's already comparatively high public transport usage, elsewhere the shift from cars wouldn't need to be as large to multiply public transport usage.
Lots of people in this thread seem to be missing this. With no cars it makes sense to build a lot more public transport, cycling is suddenly nice and safe, and car oriented places don't make any sense to build anymore.

If you want to nitpick you'd be better off replying directly to the comment I linked to.
Piefed has (had?) some weird opinionated behaviours that to me make it seem worth avoiding https://lemmy.ml/comment/23662293

There's no button for when it's correct‽

I'm guessing because it doesn't look like a one way street on openstreetmap, and their routing ignores the gate. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8364067

They do have Rails World on their list, which is an event run by DHH

The European Rail Passengers Union recently started and is looking to advocate for solutions to some of these issues.

If you're at the point of worrying about how much wear on the roads your buses are doing, it's time to lay down some rails.
Where do you live that actually taxes fuel enough to cover the entire cost of the externalities of cars? A study shows it doesn't in Massachusets, and this shows it doesn't in Europe
