American here, please do this.
All of our companies are run by scumbags taking advantage of useful idiots. We need more options and legitimate competition.
Especially github. I thought all of you were supposed to leave that when microsoft bought it. I never used it but I definitely wouldn't these days..

Everyone who is censored, everyone who abuses their mod powers; it just creates an opportunity for people to pick up the slack and create better communities.
You only have yourselves to blame, dickhead mods.
why is Organic Street Maps better than the other ones, that claim to be Open Street Maps derived?
bandwidth is not disposable ya'll.
Two reasons:
- interface rocks
- maps are downloaded for offline use
I've been using OsmAnd for years, and offline maps has always been one of their main things.

downloading maps for offline -- you nuts? how does anyone profit from the clicks?

Sucks for Organic Maps but that's the FAANG.
I love organic maps, sometimes I practice navigation by turning location off and using a compass with the downloaded map on my phone.
What is really needed is a fediverse for git repos
First off, that's literally what Forgejo is trying to do
Secondly, git is technically already federated.
Things are a lot better than you might think. It's just that people naturally gravitate towards centralized services, because of the network effect.
