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".

I'm Romanian and my whole life people have referred to me in a last name + first name order in official contexts (school, legal papers, etc)
'Name and firstname' is the common way to ask for someone to put their name on a document or to state their legal name.
How does it work in Spain and Portugal? Wouldn't surnames get longer and longer every generation?
I'm from Mexico but it works the same as in Spain. You don't get the surnames "joint" as one. You get them separately. So, for example, I have my father's "first" surname and my mother's "first" surname.
So let's say my mother's name is Maria Ramirez Ruiz and my father's name is Jose Martinez Ochoa. My name then would en up as Mario Martinez Ramirez
Ah cool, thanks for the explanation.
proudly representing the best order from Hungary. It just makes more sense with Hungarian.
With the name order, yes. I'm also feeling this with the date format we're using (YYYY.MM.DD.). And the list stops here, before we start talking how we use "on, at, to,..." plus other quirky grammar stuff.
ppl learning German: OMG 4 cases‽ Hungarian: we have 18 cases, none of them resemble any language, and we have way too many irregularities. glhf.
on the date format: it's great when it's fully written out, but I specifically prefer the 2000 version of ISO 8601: it allows for a --02-24 format for month and date, and the extra dash clarifies that the year is missing
