Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself as one of the moderation team, I am a photographer and make regular use of maps to explore locations before I visit them in person, I find comparing different mapping tools very useful rather than just relying on google. I will keep my OSM account private as I prefer not to share too much information online, but I have been using the system for many years and have spent time editing and mapping a number of areas. I have moderation experience from a few other sites, including reddit and here on lemmy, so hopefully I can help steer the ship and keep things in order!
