  • What type of spatial object is your data on pastebin? Also, take a look at this QA: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/264562/… Commented Jun 7, 2021 at 2:59
  • It's an sf object. Commented Jun 7, 2021 at 3:25
  • @Aaron The linked answer is for polygons but some specks might be lines or points, for all I know. The answer seems to apply to a different object type. The answer also refers to rmapshaper, which my question includes. Commented Jun 7, 2021 at 3:33

    One hack is to use a buffer/negative-buffer to clean up small polygons and holes. Keep in mind though that this approach can smooth polygons, especially if you use too big of a buffer size. Commented Jun 7, 2021 at 3:43
  • I flagged my question to be transferred to StackOverflow, considering the relatively low attention it is getting here (GIS-SE) and my experience of getting fast answers to computational geospatial questions on SO. My flag was declined with the argument that the question is on topic for GIS-SE. However, I am still waiting as a result. Should I consequently cross-post in SO, in accordance with this answer on Meta-SE? I submit that this moderation policy discourages from posting this type of question here instead of on SO in the first place. Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 2:54
