OpenStreetMap
When one understands that his experience has now come to an end, he goes into his profile and into the settings where there are latitude and longitude, he moves to the place of death, where he will find mappers who have never made edits or who have done 12 years does. The land of death is the shipwreck of a mapper who abandons…

Hi there, I’m saddened to read this. Is this another case of reaching out too late when the frustration is already too high?
Unfortunately you give no further details as to why you are frustrated or how you tried to deals with ‘issues’. I also could not find any comments on your changesets of the last month.
In any case I encourage you to keep mapping and engage with others to find common ground.

I do not abandon OpenStreetMap, but I have decided to make my contribution in other countries. I think that respect and good education is at the base of everything. Unfortunately the increase in popularity of OSM there has been an increase in mappers (excellent) but unfortunately the rude people have also increased. Patience has a limit and I have reached the limit. OpenStreetMap for me is much more than a map, it is to make the territory known, enhance it, pass on its history, a tool to explore the territory. It is often the only map for many abandoned nations or peoples. Only once did I unsubscribe from OSM, because I had to emigrate from Italy and I would not have had more time to devote to OSM (with great regret). Fortunately / bad luck emigration has faded, and here I am.

That is not the Land of Death. That is the land of Zero Node Streets.
I suppose I’ll have to explain that.
There’s a web site called CityStrides.com which tracks all the runs you’ve done with a GPS. The goal of the site is to run all the streets in a city. (So far, so good.)
The site’s underlying geographical data comes from OSM. The creator of the site has worked on an update process so that as roads are added, deleted, and corrected here, the change will be reflected there. Unfortunately, there are a few bugs with the update process. One of those bugs results in a street in a city with zero nodes. But the mapping routine doesn’t produce an error message if there are no nodes. Instead, it displays the map at 0.00 0.00. That’s the land of Zero Node Streets.
I’m attempting to organize a cruise out there so we can all run those non-existent streets.
