It’s not a good idea to put any sort of identity on your car since people don’t generally think nice things about the drivers they see on the road with them. One of my friends refuses to put a Jesus fish bumper sticker in case she cuts someone off or something and they get mad at God.
I had one on the back of my car that was a T-Rex biting a chunk out of the ichthys symbol. Lasted a lot longer than I thought it would living in the Bible Belt before someone ripped it off. People will definitely take your car decorations personally.
Maybe if it’s just a jolly roger with “*ARRR” under it. Those in the know will understand, for others it’s just a silly pop culture reference. And has plausible deniability (“What? I just really like Pirates of the Caribbean and Sea of Thieves!”).
Yeah this is my thought as well. I see nothing wrong with mostly surface level info for bumper stickers. However, I wouldn’t advertise doing anything against the law or hell, even less popular stuff then most. It unfortunately can single you out for potential vehicle damage or worse.
Depending on where I’m the world you are, there is nothing that can be done. I at least know where I live in the US, I could put a sticker for something like l337x or Ru Tracker and the worst thing that could happen (without any links) is that someone keys off the stickers.
Though I feel like I’d be more likely to be pressured by a police officer to remove the stickers for some bullshit made-up law that those stickers are in fact illegal (despite it only being a logo/name of the website).
Also, just having a sticker might attract attention, but the people whose attention it tracks would need actual proof of anything wrong going on before they actually make a move.

fuck cars, use bikes

Yes, let me bike to the grocer, and somehow carry home 100lbs+ of food and supplies on my fucking HEAD? What are you even on
This IS the way. !fuckcars
Well, my stance is I hate any stickers on a car.
Stuff that only a specific group of people understands should be fine. Like this one https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61546
Do it. Put the not-technically-piracy apps on your car. Qbittorrent, sonarr, radarr, jellyfin, etc.
It´s just as dumb as any sort of stickers that convey your personal opinion.
Most people won´t care, very few will appreciate it but if there´s only one person that really really hates it, you might end up with a keyed car.

It’s dumb. It draws attention you don’t want to get.

I actually saw one the other day. Really wished I’d taken a photo because it was here - https://maps.app.goo.gl/KBVbJdTnX93PdXrJ7
This is the type of post someone with stickers on their car would make. Close your mouth, friend-o, you’re gonna catch a fly.
cringe.

People have been jailed for bumper stickers.
I expect that from Florida and the east/south, but I have yet to see that thing happen here on the upper west coast.
Any sticker on a car is cringe.
Someone might damage your car bc they don’t believe it’s right and think you’re doing something illegal lmao
That would be quite ironic.
