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".

Why is the cheese labelled "bread"

So this is Chicago pizza? And the dead man is in Denver. Got it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

That's El Paso County, CO, by the way. Colorado Springs area.

That old man stole my pizza. I owe you a debt.

Holy shit was this at a bus stop? I believe I saw this from the voodoo donut store window.

They used to be the shit.

One of the things that got all of us kicked out of the first place I lived in Colorado is the guy in charge arranging fights he called "Blood on the Snow" in the backyard.

If it wouldn't have the satire tag, I would still believe it was a legit post on r/maps. Oh the quality was so low there.

The 4 map subreddits I followed at some point:

  • r/maps: maps from your elementary school atlas
  • r/mapporn: misinformation, outdated maps, source: I made it up
  • r/historicalmaps: "please date this map" and the same map as yesterday by a different user
  • r/mapporncirclejerk: the spiritual ancestor of this community. At the end I only followed this one, the others became too annoying.

Pretty sure my county is a pepperoni

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I didn't even look until I read your comment, but me too!

I can’t believe this person is promoting murdering animals for food consumption. Shame on them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In their defense, pepperoni is delicious.

An inconvenient truth.

I like how you included all the reddit info as if that person created the meme

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dude, they got Reddit bucks for it.

How much more legit can you get!?

[–] captain_aggravated 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't miss any of Reddit's gamified systems.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, the only thing I miss about Reddit is a few communities that aren't here. I actually prefer the UI here and everything.

[–] captain_aggravated 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For a minute there was an officialness to Reddit, like the game studios I was interested in would be active on their subreddits so that was a legitimate way of communicating with them, and such. Lemmy probably will never achieve that, because I'm SURE game studios and the like aren't going to choose instances.

There were things like flairs or whatnot, seems there were several parallel things like that that Lemmy straight-up doesn't have so at least some formats of sub don't work here.

There also needs to be a solution to the "We just started a brand new community so it's time for the same creator to upload 90 near identical posts, flooding All." issue. Especially when it's from the porn instance.

Hmm. Larger businesses do tend to have their own email domains, and I suppose it would have to work the same on Lemmy. I wonder how well it would work to reverse-proxy one instance behind multiple domains. And yeah, flairs would be good, it's just a matter of adding yet another table to the Lemmy's databases and building out the APIs and mailboxes for ActivityPub compliance. And then displaying them properly on the frontends.

I'm really surprised by how many people actually use the local screen. Unless you're on .world you're basically harkening back to the old days of disconnected private forums, when you're looking at Lemmy that way.

Oh, I have no clue if they did or not, I just found this pic online at some point and saved it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm messing with ya. Just thought reddit being in it was funny
