A spokesperson told Bloomberg that the fee will “help cover the costs of running a separate infrastructure and measuring its effectiveness.” So a significant part of the fee is to pay for measuring it? What’s that phrase about the bureaucracy expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy again…?

This bot should see when a link has already been posted and not duplicate it. Similarly, some kind of automod should prevent the same article being posted twice.

Very sad to see this level of gatekeeping in a rather small, slow and quiet community. Good luck to you.

As you’ve been very diligent reporting errors and suggesting changes to map data, have you ever considered contributing to OpenStreetMap? You might like helping by using the app Every Door on iOS, for example.

If they’re cross-posted they’ll show up only once (though not all apps support this feature yet). I cross-post when I know something is especially relevant to multiple communities. If I don’t then someone else will, either not cross-posting or using a different source, meaning it will definitely show up multiple times to people.

I would argue that OSM doesn’t exist in a bubble and that discussion about other maps and related services is very relevant to OSM.

This was discussed on both communities you posted this two five days ago:

(Sorry for the yiffit links - Lemmy still does not have server-neutral ways to link to posts)

It’s not directly about OSM but I thought it would be of interest to people here. I certainly found it interesting; it’s good to update my knowledge about a map service I know less about.

I did use the cross-post function. Most apps do not currently acknowledge this function which might explain why the article has appeared to you multiple times.

Hah, likewise :)

I felt it was an opinion worth sharing as I knew it would generate discussion. I struggled to find other suitable communities.

I pointed out that I didn’t write the text as I don’t want to falsely appear to claim credit for it, that’s all.

Heh, strange is our normal… Anyway, I just want to point out that this isn’t my opinion. I linked to the article, and the writer is credited in the first sentence in bold.

There is discussion on going at [email protected] currently about new rules. Users posting the same story from the same source will be blocked by an automod. I asked about users posting the same story from different sources, and apparently that’s absolutely fine. So expect this problem to get a lot worse before steps have to be taken to make it better :/

Not all clients support this (yet). I only found out about this recently and have to go to the browser to use the crosspost feature.

I posted about this here hours ago.
