Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?

Jump

  • The OpenStreetMap website isn't really menant for general consumption. It's more menant as a databse that other services can build upon.

    For Android I recommend the excellent OrganicMaps, but you can also use Magic Earth (proprietary). Both are built on top of OSM data.

    • What is the long-term storage plan for Lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • The 700MB are the postgres data or everything including the images?

    I'm under the impression that text should be very cheap to store inside postgres.

    • why can't we have federated identity ?

    Jump

  • Yes but it's a bit of a mess to interact with lemmy from a Mastodon account though.

    • Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts

  • That makes more sense. The legend on the graph confused me though.

    • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

    Jump

  • Simply the fact that they harbor known harassers like LibsOfTikTok would be enough to de-federate pretty much any other fediverse instance. Why would their moderation have a free pass just because they're big?

  • 1 million posts a day? That seems a lot! Does it count comments?

    • Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

    Jump

  • Text is very light and compresses very well. While instances may risk having scaling issues with photo and video, text should be very easy to archive forever.

    • Do you think reddit will survive this?

    Jump

  • It's been going that direction for a while. Even if we stated, the discourse quality in Reddit overall has been going down. Many of the "fun" subreddits have lost their point and have become shitty collections of short-videos.

    For example take a look at r/HolUp. It used to be a very fun subreddit, with a very specific type of content, but now it's just shitty videos that have nothing that make you think "hold up a minute".
