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’re pleasantly familiar feeling and stay out of the way, so there’s no reason to.

I think I'd go farther and say you're pretty good friends; we have plenty of projects going together, we've got a giant waterfall we do a pretty good job sharing, etc.

Hopefully you know that “your country only exists at my pleasure” is not a compliment.

Wasn't really designed to be; it's more meant to chastise other imperial superpowers throughout history. If you went back through history and took the dominant superpower of any given era and plunked their leadership down in 1950's Washington DC, how many of them form close economic ties and a mutual defense pact, and how many of them march on Ottawa?

If I read our treaties correctly, the official attitude of the United States is more like "Canada shall cease to exist over our dead bodies."

It's a bit of an unfair comparison. WWII had just ended and the world was adjusting to the invention of nuclear weapons. The British stopped invading places too, and that was their whole thing. Also, don't forget, before WWII you did try to annex us.

To date you've chosen to sphere us instead, but it's not because you're all just nice guys.

and that was their whole thing

Yeah that's kinda the point I was making.
