Alright #Mapstodon #OpenStreetMap There's still / again broad scale vandalism going on in our beloved map 😓
So let's clarify a couple of things! 🤓
There are practically zero checks for what goes into the OpenStreetMap database. You can create an account and delete a city. It'll be in the database immediately. The thinking is that the community will spot it and fix it ("self-healing map") and there are tools to check for vandalism in the map.
