A federated internet archive, I'm wondering whether I should build it myself. With so many journalists being banned for reporting the gaza genocide we need more ways to combat censorship.

I'm a sporadic/infrequent openstreetmap contributor, too - although I'm not second-guessing these contributions. Useless or not, I do use OSM all the time personally, so reason stands somebody before me did a good job and helped me a lot.

Admittedly, some of the people who use OSM around me use it because at a certain moment I've explained them the advantages. (I live in Europe and people frequently use other modes of transport besides the car, so OSM is legit frequently the better choice.)

I'm from Brazil, and the people around here love to swim and bathe in big tech, unfortunately. I tried talking about osm with a lot of people, but everyone keep using google no matter what :(

But recently, I have been giving less attention to adding businesses and more into other things related to navigation, which I know are used by some

Personally, I exercise the "growth mentality" here. Meaning, I don't compare with a target value such as "I've converted 10% of the Earth population to OSM". Instead, I compare with OSM as it was 6 months ago. This approach gives peace of mind and steady progress for me personally.
