Enough gloom and doom for now.
I just updated the #OpenStreetMap contributor stats at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats#Contributor_statistics_reports for Q2 2026. And yes, we have an all time high in monthly contributors, surpassing the likely pandemic driven peak in early 2021. And next month might be even better.

@simon@en.osm.town What do you think is motivating the increased edits?

@simon@en.osm.town i wonder if some of this is from people suggesting OSM contribution instead of Pokemon Go in light of Niantic being evil.
