Hey OpenStreetMap people! I am looking for a specific tool/service:
- preferably self hostable
- stores a part of the OSM map (the size would be a 100k city)
- allows adding points and other additional data
- has an admin panel for user management
- is easy to use for non technical people
The background is that my dad is a historian and I had this idea to give him a tool that would allow him to create a map of historical places of our city.
I would handle the technical stuff and just give him admin access to edit the map.

Hi. I'm looking for folks and SWers familiar with the really dark shit that happens in the industry (not necessarily even personally, just knowing about the sorts of things that happen). I don't need a blow-by-blow but since I am working on something that could potentially be picked up by horrible people and used as a tool of exploitation, I would like to have conversations ASAP about how to do things NOW such that this is mitigated/entirely prevented.
You can DM me here, or preferably on signal at zkat.1312.
Boosts welcome!
To be fair, part of the procrastination was because I couldn't settle on whether to make a gts-specific subdomain or just 'fedi' or 'social', because migrating subdomains between software isn't trivial, but by this point I've pretty much settled on "I'll probably be happy with GtS anyway", partly because of following its development and partly because of my needs changing
(I didn't, until I started growing them...)

I vaguely recall hearing about when Visa went after Fetlife. My memory is fuzzy and there's some gaps in the story clearly though. I absolutely recall they nuked a bunch of groups to immediately comply with their payment processor's demands, then when forging a more permanent policy on such things, I think they decided "You know what? Screw them, come what may"
But now that I look at them now, they ban those topics so I guess they tripled back on that?
I was saying elsewhere I knew of exactly one site that told payment processors to go heck themselves when told to ban certain content from their site. Turns out that didn't last, or I misremembered.
Anyone have more detail on that entire story?

I think I'll *finally* go and set up the GtS instance today that I've been procrastinating on for months now

⚡️lest someone read this in, I’m not saying you specifically *must* persuade them. Nor am I saying that we should tolerate bigotry or treat bigots like special boys who get treats.
No. I’m saying you need to destroy their fundamental views about the world.
If you’ve ever had a moment of revelation where everything you believed in collapsed, you know that’s a *far* more devestating blow than swearing someone out.
