I think it’s just the idea that people who make contributions like doing it, and so they thought moving to a new town might bring new opportunities to make osm more widely used, but then you find out someone has already done the work. It’s bittersweet because you’re glad the work is done but bitter you didn’t get to do it yourself
Can someone pleaese explain why this would be bad? I don’t have enougt knowledge to get the meme.

Because it means there isn’t anything left to do for a new mapper. Except possibly updating things when reality changes.
Thank you.
my guess is either disappointment from not getting to contribute to your own town’s mapping, or some much more disturbing privacy implication
Thanks
please elaborate! (don’t hold back)
I would but I don’t know what it would be, if that’s true? OP pls help
I was hoping you had a juicy conspiracy theory cooking up but it’s okay, I don’t think OP has one either
<fakenews> OSM IS MAPPING OUT THE TOWNS WHERE PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS PEOPLE LIVE SO THAT THE MEN IN BLACK CAN KIDNAP THEM MORE EASILY!!! </fakenews>
