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".

Don't worry the Rest Of Canada doesn't really bother to learn French anyway. It only works the other way around. Unless you want to be a politician or move to Quebec, and even then...
I should know, I'm a native French speaker. Doesn't it show? Did you have to learn French to understand what I just wrote? No, because WE are the ones that have to learn English.

Acadians, Québécois, and Franco-Ontarians are more bilingual. All French speakers.
Sorry if I kind of broke the joke but, here's some facts.
Hehe yeah, my parents got us all to learn french anyway, I don't use it much, but it helps to read a surprisingly large amount of other languages knowing english and french. I could probably more easily learn a few others if I get a reason to. But yeah, have only actually encountered 2 french speaking people in my 40 years so far. So the side benefits of learning it were certainly the more important part. Not even sure I could still follow an auditory conversation in French, but I read it fine.
