What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.
Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

I mean like top hats, eccentric goggles, steam-powered tech, what a comic book hot air balloon pilot might look like. You know it when you see it! also lots of goth! I only visited for a day.
Aah. Thank you. I think I know, now.
