Towards an open, federated review platform based on OSM 


As I migrate away from big tech and towards independent solutions and in particular services powered by OpenStreetMaps and ActivityPub, I often find that the biggest missing piece remaining is that of a social element allowing for user reviews and feedback to locations on the map—in the intersection between the two services.  


I have been playing with the idea of how this could be implemented, and decided would share my thoughts on a technically minimal and entirely federated standard for OSM reviews. The idea is to have a very basic ActivityPub integration that can work with even simple (microblog style) messages, allowing users to contribute reviews without having to sign up for additional services or necessarily install custom software.

Well, that’s frustrating—I’m sorry about that. You can read the post here: https://piefed.social/c/osm@feddit.uk/p/2091360/towards-an-open-federated-review-platform-based-on-osm 


(And thanks for the heads up, I have informed the PieFed developers of the problem)


Edit: I took the liberty to respond to this post with a comment more suitable for sharing on Mastodon given the broken federation of this post. :)
