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".

Thanks for the context!
It's a somewhat controversial context. Sardinia is a LOT more vocal about their unique identity and isolationistic vocations than Sicily, and the Italian unification has been the subject to an abundant amount of revisionism mostly as a bitter consequence of the real or percieved gaps in economical development between the north and the south.
Unification was very much desired by Italian intellectuals across the country, the general population didn't have that much relevant say into it, but truth be told the unification campaign to annex the south started from Sicily climbing up toward Rome.
Of course it's all a lot more complex, but it can be argued that Italy was more united back than that in later, more recent, stages, for various not entirely devoid of opaque political interests, reasons.
