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".

Ok, but what about subway lines?

You wouldn't be able to see them because they're underground.

And people here always giving US a hard time about lack of public transit.

This is a ridiculous effort, even the best maps I've previously seen tend to skip several decommissioned, small, or separate rail lines. This is so comprehensive I feel like I could build a model railway between me and the neighbor's yard and you'd somehow figure out out and include it if you make an update. Next level, truly.

Just get the Germans there, they'll build it faster than you can sail down there - just look at their track record they did in the 40's. Just need the right motivation.

/s, just in case

Joke landed like the Hindenburg

I heard their trains are never late

This would be much more useful if it also showed the where the airports and seaports are. The rail layout makes no sense without knowing why they put them there.
