Maps shouldn’t be ruled by the patriarchy—so let’s take them back.
From colonial borders to corporate-controlled GPS, #maps have always been tools of power. #OpenStreerMap is different: open, feminist, and built by the people.
This #IWD2026, #women it's your streets, your stories, your map.

@openstreetmap osm is better at showing bike paths and walkways than many other maps, but it is still very much defaulting to car infrastructure. that's not very feminist if you ask me.
at least make a layer that renders any car infra as obstacles instead of routes. (yea, cyclosm is there, but it's not what i'm asking now)
@amapanda tell me about it. i have limited time for more hobbies. filling in streetcomplete tasks every now and then is as much as i have time and skills for.
i hope that osm was built by people not like me, ie. people who know how to do maps with computers and who have time to do that. is that too much to ask?
