minus-squareIllecors@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46arrow-down1·9 months agoOSM is run by a foundation - https://www.openstreetmap.org/about This makes it a lot more difficult to cock it up compared to a shareholder run company.
minus-squareCAVOK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·9 months agoThanks. I’ll continue my small contributions then. If anyone want to help I can recommend StreetComplete. It’s a bit like pokemon go, but you’ll help improve the map of the world instead. Only in android now I think.
minus-squarefossilesque@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·9 months agoOSM is good people and very much within the FOSS ethos as far as I can tell. Their Humanitarian work is just awesome: https://www.hotosm.org/
minus-squarecuriousPJ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·9 months agoOhhh interesting, just grabbed it on F-droid. I’ll be playing around with this for a while.
minus-squareMeowoem@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·9 months agoOh I should do that, I’m often in new builds and redevelopments, I’d think that’s where it’s needed most?
minus-squareCAVOK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoI think it’s needed everywhere. I can start it wherever I happen to be and find a lot of “quests/tasks” to complete.
minus-squareMeowoem@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·9 months agoThanks yeah I’ve downloded it and there are loads of little quests, I’ll give it a try
