Its probably not intentional and not really a big deal but i recognized kinda recently and found it interesting.

A far-right remigration outfit posts a map turning millions of people into an invading orange swarm, complete with the usual “illegal migrants” framing and the response is basically “wow, data visualisation is so powerful”?

Yes. That is the point. It’s meant to feel overwhelming and threatening. Treating it as a neat example of visual storytelling rather than obvious propaganda is either spectacularly naive or a very generous way of laundering the message.

screw these rich gentrifiers and white supremacists trying to take over the European Bluesky network.

Na wat lurken besloten om deze open-data te delen. Nergens anders vindt je de actuele vraagprijs per gemeente zo nauwkeurig. Er zijn best verassende dingen te vinden.

Is Amsterdam nog wel de duurste gemeente?

Dit is in kaart gebracht op basis van het huidige makelaarsaanbod (120k huizen) in Nederland. Het aanbod komt direct bij de makelaars vandaan. Dus niet van de grote spelers. De vraagprijs per woonoppervlakte is opensource per gemeente te bekijken op https://data.residentievinder.nl/prijs-per-m2/ .

So many things bother me with this. The message and notice is fine, but the map is awful.
