Cartography Anarchy

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".

Europe colonized by Europe

I didn't move from Poland to Denmark for Poland to follow me here.

(In honesty, I'm kidding, I miss my country very much)

Iceland is probably fine with it.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And maybe Ireland? Or it'll kick off The Troubles again

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You guys need to click the link and read the names of the countries in detail.

I don't even know exactly why the placement is so funny. Germany. Poland. It's a good joke even without the details, but with the details it is truly wonderful.

If you click the story title, you'll see a higher-res version of the same map as you see in the image. At least, that's how it is for me.

You gotta make space for Liechtenstein somehow.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

The Vatican got Corsica. Tough luck.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

[–] M137@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Swede here, excuse me!? Give it back!

Guess I live in Lichtenstein now.

All hail the king/prince or whatever

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Oh my God what are you doing step Lichtenstein, I hadn't notice how big you'd gotten.

Also, Serbia's in trouble

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 8 points 10 months ago

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

Lol, I see Crete is not part of Greece or even Europe anymore

They drifted so far south that's its now part of Egypt(?)

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I am now Belgian... As a Norwegian we ended up with the northern wastelans. But at least Sweden really got fucked. Now if Denmark got just as fucked I could get behind this

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

I suggest relocating the Greeks to Iceland and the Icelanders to Greece.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Ah I think this is a “metric” map of Europe. I thought Europeans were all about the metric system?!

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Good ol' Polish Newcastle.

Why is Romania almost twice the size of all the other countries?
