Yeah, it’s made more for refining and confirming details than for adding entirely new objects.

When I want to add something that’s not on the map yet, I either add a note in StreetComplete and come back to it later on my computer, or I add it using Vespucci. (I’ve been known to add items using Vespucci, then reload the data on StreetComplete so I can fill in details that aren’t in the presets and that I can’t remember how to tag manually!)

By that logic, there’s no point in ever deleting anything online, so why even bother with hiding them? Just leave everything up there forever, whether the person who wrote it still wants it to be there or not.

Also, not everyone has the time, programming skills and resources to just fork a project, never mind run their own server. That’s not a constructive approach to a “this feature ought to work better” discussion.

The fact that other copies might be out there (assuming a crawler archived the particular page while a post was up) isn’t a reason not to remove the copies you can control.

Even just caching the not-logged-in views can be a big help, as I’ve found with self-hosted WordPress.

This post alone now has as many upvotes as I saw someone on Reddit claim Lemmy had total users.
