Seems like some spicy drama. I’ll check back in a few days to see how it resolves. I love Organic Maps and I hope the core team resolves this appropriately.

Much like the other user, the instance link works for me and keeps me local, but the lemmy verse link takes me to that instance.

If I’m reading this correctly, the headline is…very inaccurate.
It looks like a dispute between two developers in Organic Maps, who both started out at Maps.me, specifically over whether their CDN redirector should be public or private.
It’s one of the reasons I linked the hn discussion. Lots of accusations going around right now. It’s unfortunate as I like that app, but this kind of splitting is important to know about.
My experience with HN is comments from out-of-touch engineers and me-too startup folks circle jerking with themselves. Can’t say they’re any better than the random discourse on social media.
So, what’s the point of Organic Maps or maps.me? The latter’s website just say “download and prepare for adventure”, like some sort of app for route preparation?
Where i live, Organic Maps has way better walking directions than Google and Apple Maps, and it’s a lot more respectful of privacy than at least the former.
