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".

Completely missing the Pittsburgh accent which is quite distinct. But I don't think I've ever seen it depicted in TV or movies either so it's likely that most Americans are completely unfamiliar with it.
I wouldn't say most Coloradans have a Midwestern accent either, especially in the front range.
Edit: it's even hard to find good examples on YouTube. Here's one guy but I would say this is just one type of accent and it's not that strong. You should hear my cousins...
Baltimore has its own accent too
Yeah I think there's probably a lot of micro-regional accents that this is missing. Which is jarring because it shows some of them. I know I have also seen some odd accents with older people in eastern Colorado. That may qualify as a "mountain accent" but I'm not completely sure what that refers to.
