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)

@Stoori @openstreetmap even openrailwaymaps has the big streets like the german "autobahn" rendered more prominently than the train routes.

@Stoori OpenStreetMap is built by people like you.
Why not make such a map, or talk to others and do it together?
There is no global leadership who can decide to make it happen. It's the OSM community who does things. You can be a part of it and do it -

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?

Why is "patriarchy" a generic word for power? -
@openstreetmap
Why is "patriarchy" a generic word for power?@light @openstreetmap Because in the world we have right now, there arent any major imperial powers that follow a matriarchal structure. But yeah, it is the oppressive power structure that matters

@openstreetmap
Why is "patriarchy" a generic word for power?@light it's not...? I don't know what you mean, but "patriarchy" has a definite meaning here, in the context of IWD and feminism...
