please god I just want a place to post maps that isn't run by a paleo-conservative power mod who removes any posts about Palestine and literally no other posts ever for any reason please mods I'm begging you I am smooching all over your toes right now mods please
I don't but a lot of people on Reddit do (ex: https://i.redd.it/dg76l7b3u2u51.png). I don't really have the photoshop chops for it.
But there's also tons of high quality historical maps to post (ex: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a0/21/7b/a0217b4e6919da2b40b7d6725414a609.jpg)
the Reddit cartography community basically touches on all three of the aspects you mentioned, with a bit of a bias towards the first and last ones.
Well depends on how you phrase the title but yeah basically. I posted two Palestine territorial control maps (one of which was this https://thefunambulistdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/political-cartography-of-palestine-lc3a9opold-lambert-funambulist-2014.jpg) and they both got silently removed
meanwhile he refuses to moderate any other type of post or enforce any standard of quality because he's a free-market nerd (except Palestine I guess)
Sure, I'll give it a shot. I'll toss a few historical maps up there too, see if anything sticks
on Laissez’s Fair, the forum that bred CTH, the maps thread was a great place. The thread is remade as “politically loaded maps” on D&D right now. The concept works.
Cushbomb and Felix were both LF posters, for example. LF was the most interesting place on the internet, spawning both the reddit woke movement with Shitredditsays and the dirtbag left with Chapo Trap House.
It started in 2007 or 2008 during the peak of internet libertarianism as a place to relegate Ron Paul supporters. But since it followed FYAD forum rules, anyone could go in and own the Ron Paul supporters. Eventually all but a few were driven out.
LF then turned into an ironic and not ironic space where people would try to one-up each other in leftism. There was also learning about critical theory type stuff going on during this, with popular threads about the writing of Deleuze. The forum turned to Maoism-Third Worldism, because although it may seem impractical, it is very consistent. From MTW there is a natural fork in the road to woke idpol insanity, or the also non-racist but not insane dirtbag left.
Eventually someone threatened to kill Barack Obama, and the forum was spammed with goatse and shut down.
A lot of good internet left stuff comes from LF. Chapo, @getfiscal, shitredditsays (for the brief time it was good), the rhizzone to name a few.
/r/worldbuilding is okay. There was a poll done on the demographic some time ago and there was a decent amount of lefties
The politics isn't really my problem with it. It's mods being overly strict about everything except low quality posts.
Ah okay, I don’t think I ever posted my work there so I don’t have experience with that aspect
Hello mods I am have been asked to harass you until you make a maps community so here I am. @mods @mods @mods
why not have a general geography comm for everything called c/geo
Ok so at first I thought this was overly specific, but seeing as how your map posts consistently get top of the Lemmy, if you keep that up, why not?
i think it would be a good idea to mix a map community with a vexillology (flags) community, it would grow a lot thanks to the content of both and if it gets too big then we could just split it into two communities
My thoughts exactly. I think the overlap between the two communities can be summed up as "geopolitics nerds" and lumped together unless one starts to flood out the other.
geografy nerds with some world buiding comm, hey do you already have someone else for a mod team?, if not i would like to help
Oh I dunno, figure that's all up to the admins. I'd assume I'd be modding but I really have no idea, nor who else they'd put on the team.
Annoy the admins about it so they'll make my map/flag subreddit faster :sicko-yes:
What about a map place run by a paleo conservative power mom? She won't ban you from the forum, but you won't be invited to the Tupperware party again.
