Communities
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". --- **Community link:** !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee

1) **𝑴𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒔 must make an effort at humor** Webster's Dictionary defines "meme" an image or video that's been creatively edited for laffs.

No sloppy editing. No watermarks. No reposts. 3) **Memes must make an effort at 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒓** Memes should be funny first and foremost. Not angry, preachy, or insulting. No unironic #hashtags. If your meme is mainly promoting or advocating or WAKING PEOPLE UP, ur doing it rong.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception. What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The *inadvertent* spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the *intentional* spread of falsehoods. By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns. # Community rules Same as [instance rules](https://wiki.dbzer0.com/the-anarchist-code-of-conduct/), plus: 1. No disinformation 2. Posts must be relevant to the topic of propaganda and/or disinformation # Related websites - [EU vs Disinfo](https://euvsdisinfo.eu/) - [FactCheck.org](https://www.factcheck.org/) - [PolitiFact](https://www.politifact.com/) - [Snopes](https://www.snopes.com/) - [Media Bias / Fact Check](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/) - [PEN America](https://pen.org/issue/disinformation/) --- **Community link:** !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

This community is dedicated to sharing, discussing, and exploring vintage advertisements that pushed the boundaries of social norms, taste, and decency. Focusing on ads from the early-to-mid 20th century, the group showcases the playful, provocative, and sometimes controversial side of marketing from a bygone era. Members are encouraged to post old print ads, TV commercials, and other marketing materials that feature risqué themes, from subtle innuendo to overtly suggestive content, and to engage in thoughtful discussion about how these ads reflect the social and cultural attitudes of their time. The group also explores the changing perceptions of sex, gender roles, and ethics in advertising. This group is for those with an appreciation for the history of advertising and the ways in which media has used shock, humour, and allure to capture attention. Note: Respectful discussion is encouraged, and members are reminded to keep the focus on historical context and critique rather than sensationalism --- **Community link:** !retrorisqueadvertising@lemmy.world

For the abolition of work. Yes really, abolish work! Not "reform work" but the destruction of work as a separate field of human activity. > To save the world, we're going to have to stop working! — David Graeber > A strange delusion possesses the working classes of the nations where capitalist civilization holds its sway. ...the love of work... Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists, and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work. — Paul Lafargue > In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. — Karl Marx > In the glorification of 'work', in the unwearied talk of the 'blessing of work', I see the same covert idea as in the praise of useful impersonal actions: that of fear of everything individual. — Friedrich Nietzsche > If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves. — Lane Kirkland > The bottom line is simple: all of us deserve to make the most of our potential as we see fit, to be the masters of our own destinies. Being forced to sell these things away to survive is tragic and humiliating. We don’t have to live like this. ― CrimethInc --- **Community link:** !antiwork@slrpnk.net

Animorphs. Cool friends fighting aliens...more accurately, the pariah of a fascist civilization, minutes before being eaten alive in front of said "ccol friends" persuades and then bioengineers human child soldiers to facilitate an end to an ill-conceived and failing war now reduced to unilaterally exterminating a parasitic, physically disabled species, itself undergoing a violent civil rights movement on their own planet based on their self-recognized flaws, struggling to realize its place in a universe where godlike beings exist and decide not to offer remedy(rules of the god game) and spectate while the parasites overwhelm all vulnerable species in the known universe. The child soldiers agree to resist the parasites, but at least a minority of them believe genocide is the wrong answer. After being physically and emotionally tortured, shot, repeatedly disemboweled and having their limbs hacked or bitten off by hosts of the parasitic species, however, all of the child soldiers begin taking violent, morally devastating actions that end their lives as they know them.

# What is Inktober? Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there's a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking ## From the [main site](https://inktober.com/): Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. ## What to do The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn't have to be your best piece of art or even something you're proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I'm ok with this though. ## This community A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post. ## Want to mod? Feel free to contact me if you're up to help mod this community. ## Rules 1. **Be kind** Constructive criticism at most. This is a strictly positive community meant to keep a habit for a period of time. If you don't enjoy someones art and can't phrase any advice in a supportive way don't speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by [@sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/u/sorrybookbroke). Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed 2. **No AI-Generated work** 3. **Submissions must meet the theme of this community** Whether on paper or digital the creation must be inked.
