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.

I mean, first off, I hope you're not voting based off of a graphic without clicking a link to read more.

Second, context clues should give you the answer. This was posted to micromobility, it has public transit in the graphic design, along with a bunch of symbols for transit and micromobility. You didn't really need to click the link to figure that out, but again, if your concern is what it means by safer streets, you could've clicked the link.

What's next? People spoon-feeding it to you because you didn't want to click a link to find out what it meant and assumed the worst?

You’re right, the community is a cue (the graphic is not, it’s a generic city drawing). But it’s not like there is a word limit on the flyer or the post. What is the upside of not including a few words about what this is? “Safety” has been used as a dog whistle and had been the justification of some of the worst things done by the worst governments, including the recent terror by ICE.
And no, I am not going to vote based on a drawing of roads and skyscrapers, this is why this flyer is ineffective. but I may be biased: I am preferring words for communication (that is why I am on lemmy and not insta or YouTube). I don’t know why you think that a post telling what it is about is spoon feeding- it is literally the purpose of making a post. Why would you follow links just to see what is behind them? I don’t open spam envelopes from my mailbox just to find out what great deals may be inside.
