A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.
Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

We've been choked by forest fire smoke every summer for a few years now. I hear some of the boreal forest that burned down is coming back as plains. Also, interestingly, we never stopped clearing new farmland around the high 50's of latitude.
It's really noticeable already as far north as I am. People will talk about how freakish the weather has been here, and then suddenly get quiet if anyone says "climate" instead of "weather" because it's oil country and they still want to be on the denier train. Man, humanity is depressing sometimes.
The flip side is that the traditional breadbasket areas in the center-west of this strip are basically turning into desert.
I feel bad for them. They've got a shit lot in that they know they're causing damage and they could stem that tide, but in doing so would have to give up what they know and have poured their lives into so far.
Not everyone's ready to sacrifice their comfort or livelihoods for others and jump when there's no guarantee they'll be caught by the social safety net.
There will always be someone desperate and ready to deny the truth of their surroundings to fill the gap left, though.
That's big of you. I can sympathise with someone who's doing bad things, but when they're intellectually dishonest about it as well I start feeling like glassing everything and letting life start over.
It's just so damn hopeless. If that's the level we're at the atrocities will never stop, and we'll keep blaming the other guy for it.
